Appearing on ESPN’s ‘First Take,’ Smith said, “I’m going with the Liberty for the upset. New York has been starving for a championship. This is the best shot that we’ve had in lord knows how long.

“A’ja Wilson. that’s my girl, you know the level of affection I’ve got for her. Because I was coaching an NBA All-Star Celebrity game years ago when Mike Wilbon collaborated with the NBA. And they cheated by giving him a bunch of ringers from Chicago to beat my team. But A’ja stepped up and she tried to handle the business for me. I got love for her. But that’s the one team the Aces have had a problem with this year… Ionescu and her crew, the Liberty. And I’m of the mindset, that the Liberty gonna pull an upset. They gon’ win the WNBA championship this year, I’m rolling with that.

New York is desperate, we’ll take whatever we can get.”

“New York stand up, that’s right,” he stated.
