That was crazy.

Stephen A. Smith made the rounds on social media on Tuesday after he made a bold comment about San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama.

The big man, a strong MVP candidate in the 2025-26 NBA season, has had a solid third campaign, taking the Spurs to one of the best records in the league (60-19) and the chance to compete for the championship in the upcoming playoffs.

While he is doubtful to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday, Wembanyama continues to turn heads with his performances. On Tuesday, Smith discussed the Frenchman’s physical profile, noting that he still has one area to improve on.

During Tuesday’s edition of ESPN’s “First Take,” Smith channeled his inner Sophie Cunningham and said Wembanyama needed to bulk up, but wording it in a suggestive manner.

“You forget how slim he really, really is,” Smith said. “When you see something like that happen, it reminds you of the vulnerability, like where is the beef?”

“That’s the one thing lacking. Ain’t nothing else lacking, but the one thing lacking on him is that beef, that meat right there. This is not Shaquille O’Neal, you know you’re about to run through a bench for a loose ball and the entire bench clears just ’cause you’re coming. Wemby, they’re ready to catch you. There’s a difference.”


Smith’s comments have racked up 1.5 million views at the time of writing. Many fans wanted to double-check what Smith talked about, and even Knicks star Josh Hart reacted to the remarks.

Victor Wembanyama continues to adjust to the NBA’s physicality. He took his game to a new level, but some think he could unlock a new one with a little bit of muscle.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’

She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina.
