The Lakers finished their worst season in franchise history and Kentucky's season ended with Andrew Harrison keeping it a 100 without a National Championship. Does that stop the "Can Kentucky beat the worst team in the NBA" debate is over? Of course not.

But this time, there's a twist. Julius Randle, a Lakers rookie and Kentucky alumnus, weighed in on SportsNationHe should have some sense, right?


Michelle Beadle: Was there ever a shot this Kentucky team could beat the Lakers...


Randle: Could they beat the Lakers?


Beadle: ...this season?


Randle: Absolutely.


Everybody on set: WHAT?!

Randle, who probably suddenly realized Bryant will bark on him if he heard this, backtracked to say he was kidding.
