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.

Check out the video right below:

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.

NBC dropped a huge announcement when they roped in the services of Michael Jordan. With the league returning to the network next season, NBC is said to have some big plans with the Chicago Bulls legend. While it is clear that he will be a part of the overall coverage, the media outlet has remained tight-lipped about the same. Till now, it was only known that Jordan will be acting as a ‘special contributor’ for NBC. But now, there might be some shocking details emerging.

Speaking on the topic, Alex Sherman of ‘CNBC’ provided some insight into the matter. He pointed out that the preliminary plans for Jordan are to appear in taped segments. This way, Jordan will be providing analysis on the games. These tapes are expected to be aired either at halftime or at the end of each game.

Sherman also pointed out that NBC will also keep the opportunity for Jordan’s role to evolve in the future. Extending the topic further, ‘CNBC’ also reported that the deal with Jordan was orchestrated by none other than his longtime friend, Jon Miller. Meanwhile, after landing such a huge deal, it is quite expected that Michael Jordan will be elated.
