Stephen A. Smith is one of the biggest voices in sports media. He has a well-earned reputation as one of the most entertaining sports analysts we have ever seen at ESPN, with his success speaking for itself. Stephen A. has worked through the journalism ranks to be among the most valued members of the ESPN team, being heavily featured by the network regularly.
Stephen A. Smith was on the talk show ‘Sherri’ where he was asked about the upcoming Super Bowl, where Rihanna will be performing at the halftime show. Smith shockingly dismissed Rihanna’s performance and started comparing her to Beyonce, something that didn’t go down well with fans.

Fans of the NBA listen to what Stephen A. Smith has to say whether they like him or not. His voice is among the most powerful in the sport, and it’s been seen throughout this season. Stephen A. was one of the first media members to start discussing Kevin Durant as an MVP candidate during the Nets’ incredible run through December, prior to KD’s injury.
He still goes on entertaining rants against the New York Knicks while attacking one of his pre-season title picks in the Los Angeles Clippers for humiliating losses. He might be getting criticized for music takes today, but NBA fans aren’t always kind about what Stephen A. has to say, either.
