After being sidelined for the New York Knicks‘ postseason run, Julius Randle was present for the Boston Celtics‘ Game 5, championship-clinching win over the Dallas Mavericks.
He was invited to join the ABC broadcast as a guest analyst. Following the Celtics’ 18th-ever NBA Finals win, Stephen A. Smith said he expects more titles from the group.
Randle responded, downplaying Smith’s comment, but giving Boston credit where it’s due.
Yeah, well Stephen A., I’m not gonna sit here and say I expect a couple more titles from them,” Randle said. “I’m still playing. Credit to them, from the very beginning of the season they were picked to be favorites. They came in and they got the job done.”
But already looking ahead, Randle is eyeing a matchup with the Celtics next season.
