JR Smith was right about this year's NBA Finals.

As Twitter was reminded on Sunday night, Smith predicted back in February that the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat would face each other in The Finals.

The 35-year-old was still a free agent at the time and a few months away from signing with the Lakers.

The Heat booked their first ticket to The Finals since 2014 with a 125-113 win over the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals on Sunday. For the Lakers, it will be their first NBA Finals appearance in a decade.
