The Golden State Warriors may be putting together the greatest playoff run in league history, but that hasn't been enough to quiet the doubters.
Despite the Warriors' NBA record 14-0 start to the postseason, Magic Johnson believes his Lakers would not only beat Golden State in a seven-game series, they'd win handily.
"We'd probably sweep them," Magic said at an American Express event Monday night.
The Hall of Fame point guard led the Lakers to five NBA titles during the 1980s, revolutionizing the sport of basketball with his up-tempo style of play.
