Stephen A Smith has revealed quite an incredible body transformation.

The ‘First Take’ host has been getting clowned over his physical features in recent months, having gotten photographed on the beach next to a certain female companion.

His basketball skills have also come under criticism, with the New Orleans Pelicans putting out a lowlight tape of the ESPN star following his bashing of Zion Williamson. Smith has taken lots of heat these last few months but has kept on going and it would appear that his saving grace is now here as he has taken to social media to show off the results of a year-long fitness journey.

Stephen A Smith has posted a video to X/Twitter in which he shows a protruding stomach from a year ago before revealing how flat it is today. The 56-year-old also disclosed previously having up to 30 percent body fat while he was also very close to being considered diabetic.

Here’s how social media reacted:

Stephen A Smith Is Reaping the Benefits Of Working With Shannon Sharpe

It’s hard not to feel inspired when you’re constantly around people who are in much better shape than you are.

Stephen A Smith has been working alongside former NFL star and three-time Super Bowl winner Shannon Sharpe for a while now and probably felt like he needed to step his game up.

While he would be the first one to admit he’s never going to be on Shannon’s level, Stephen A. has come a long way.

His efforts to slim down and flatten his stomach rightly earned him some praise. It also puts his criticism of Williamson in a slightly better light as an NBA star could certainly take strides to keep his body weight under control if an aging reporter could do it.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
