Are the Los Angeles Lakers the North Carolina Tar Heels of the NBA?

You know how everybody picked UNC to win the championship? Almost every NBA expert is saying that the Lakers will win the NBA Championship. TNT'S Kenny Smith even went as far as saying,"It would be an UPSET if the Lakers lose". Any thoughts on this?

I don't think it would be a huge upset if the Lakers didn't win. Lakers arguably have the best team, but I could see 3 teams in the Eastern Conference giving them a fight in the finals.
