Stephen A. Smith does not mind making things awkward on First Take, especially for his female co-hosts.
The ESPN personality had another female colleague bewildered as he took one conversation to a completely different place on ESPN’s “First Take.”
His latest came on Wednesday morning when he suddenly interrupted a football debate to talk to anybody reaching out to him for Martin’s number.
“To the fellas out there, you can’t have her. You’re bums,” Smith interjected, bringing the conversation to a halt. “You know you dogs. Stop texting me about trying to get with Kimberly Martin.“It ain’t happening!”

Kimberly Martin could then be seen looking at the camera with astonishment.
Smith has been known for his blazing hot sports takes over the years but he is also known for his head-scratching takes about his female co-hosts as well. Luckily, he has yet to say anything that has gotten him sent to the HR department for sensitivity training. He is, however, towing a thin line and should likely stop before things get serious enough to where ESPN and Disney may have to make a tough decision.
In the meantime, Smith has been going viral as he has been giving his opinions on sex and how to lie to your partner. He should probably keep that stuff separate from what he does on ESPN.

Team USA enters the Paris Olympics with a star-studded roster, boasting twelve players with NBA experience. This impressive lineup includes three NBA stars making their Olympic debuts: Joel Embiid, Anthony Edwards, and Tyrese Haliburton.
Joel Embiid
Joel Embiid is originally from Cameroon. But he chose to represent Team USA over his native country. The Philadelphia 76ers star, who moved to the United States at the age of 16, made this decision due to his son’s American citizenship.
Embiid was drafted by Philadelphia and played eight seasons for the 76ers. Throughout these years, he averaged 27.9 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 433 regular-season games.
