Suge Knight Predicts Rockets Will Win 2018 NBA Finals When Asked by Judge
Former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight picked the Houston Rockets to win the 2018 NBA Finals while sitting in a courtroom.
Per Marisa Gerber of the Los Angeles Times, after Knight was told to return to court in May for a criminal threats proceeding, the judge asked who he thought would win the NBA title.
"Houston," Knight answered.
The judge responded by telling Knight the Rockets are a "good pick."
They can clinch a spot in the Western Conference semifinals with a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday.
Houston set a franchise record with 65 victories during the regular season to earn the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference playoffs. The Rockets' last championship came during the 1994-95 season when they swept the Orlando Magic in the NBA Finals.
