Stephen A. Smith's Daughter Stole The Show With Appearance On Live Broadcast originally appeared on Fadeaway World.
ESPN's Stephen A. Smith is one of the most well-renowned sports media personalities in the world. On Tuesday night, before Game 6 of the NBA Finals, however, Smith's segment was overshadowed by his daughter's appearance on a live broadcast, in honor of "Bring Your Daughter to Work" day.

After being invited on air, Samantha Smith rose to the occasion and took over the presentation. She started by introducing herself, saying:
"Hi, guys. I'm Samantha. I'm Stephen's daughter. I'm so happy to be here, I made so many friends...This is a really great experience, and I am really grateful to be here."
Smith, who is known to be an extremely vocal and animated personality, was significantly more reserved. Instead, Samantha took up the task of carrying the remainder of the segment before exiting.
The broadcasting star looked quite out of his depth, as acknowledged by his co-host, who said:
"Look at the face. Just stop. You love it. Putty in hands. You know the deal."

Smith could be seen hiding his face and smiling sheepishly after having his daughter join him for a live broadcast, portraying a side to the media personality that isn't seen very often.
Samantha also joined the panel of NBA Countdown shortly after, seeing Smith take on an even more reserved approach. Smith's daughter also shared her pick for the game, adding:
"My pick, I'm going OKC. I think they're going to end it tonight. I think Shai has been killing it all season, and he won the MVP for a reason. So I think we're going to finish it all now."
The panel couldn't help but laugh at Smith's expressions and disposition. With Samantha also taking an opposing stance to her father's, who backed Indiana to win the game, the banter between the two made for an entertaining display on her broadcasting debut.

Unfortunately for Samantha, her father came away with a win, as the Indiana Pacers blew past the Oklahoma City Thunder after a dominant 108-91 result in Game 6.
Taking A Look At Stephen A. Smith's Family
The ESPN broadcaster is widely known for getting into heated debates with co-panelists as well as professional basketball players during his segments. However, not much is known about the media personality's offscreen life.

Huge 2026 NFL mock draft update rebuilds Steelers offense
We are a month away from the start of NFL training camps and just after that, the college football season will kick off. So we thought now was the perfect time to update our five-round mock draft for the 2026 NFL draft. As things stand right now, we have five quarterbacks with a first-round grade and depending how the college season plays out, there should be a potential franchise quarterback on the board when the Steelers pick in the first round. This time around we utilized the mock draft simulator from Mock Draft Database that utilizes projected compensatory picks and very up to date prospect rankings. First round - QB Fernando Mendoza - Indiana The Steelers pick No. 15 overall in this mock and a run on quarterbacks leave them with Indiana's Fernando Mendoza. He's not a household name yet but by the time the draft gets here, he should be one of the first four quarterbacks off the board. Second round - CB Jalon Kilgore - South Carolina Kilgore has prototypical NFL size and athleticism and showed a ton of growth last season in his coverage technique. Third round - TE Max Klare - Purdue We are rooting for Darnell Washington but if tight end becomes a bigger part of the offense, a pick like Klare as a receiving weapon makes a lot of sense. Third round - WR Nic Anderson - LSU Anderson is healthy and getting a fresh start at LSU. He is good at everything and has no real glaring weaknesses to his game. Third round - RB Jonah Coleman - Washington If Jaylen Warren leaves after the season, the Steelers will need to add a back to go with Kaleb Johnson. Coleman is a powerful, squatty back with impressive balance truly elite vision with sneaky athleticism. Fourth round - OT Drew Shelton - Penn State Massive powerfuly run blocker who just overwhelms defenders with his size and power. Fourth round - S Keon Sabb - Alabama Exceptional developmental safety who might end up going much sooner than this if he can develop more in coverage Fifth round - IOL - Febechi Nwaiwu - Oklahoma Nwaiwu transfered to Oklahoma last season and after he got up to speed, really looked good as the team's starting right tackle. We expect him to make another big jump in 2025 and he could be Isaac Seumalos' replacement. Fifth round - WR Germie Bernard - Alabama Alabama is Bernard's third FBS team in four seasons. He's not spectacular in any area but he's found a way to develop as a really reliable possession receiver if he can just have some stability in coaching and scheme.

How to watch Caitlin Clark: TV, prediction for Indiana Fever vs Las Vegas Aces on June 22
The Indiana Fever are 6-6 after a June 19 loss to the Golden State Valkyries on the road. Caitlin Clark recorded 11 points, nine assists and seven rebounds against Golden State. Head coach Stephanie White missed the game due to personal reasons. Sunday's game against the Aces marks the first time the two teams have faced off this season. Chloe Peterson is your best Fever follow, and sign up for our Caitlin Clark Fever newsletter. Chloe Peterson's prediction: Fever 75, Aces 70 "The Fever have not beaten the Aces since Caitlin Clark joined the team last season, but that could change on Sunday. The Aces, who were the 2022 and 2023 champions, have had a tough start to the season at 5-6. "A lot of it, I think, depends on A'ja Wilson's availability. Wilson has been out with a concussion since June 11, when she was hit in the head against the Sparks. She was upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against Seattle, but she will take some time to readjust after a week off. "The Fever are coming off a deflating loss to the Valkyries, in which Clark scored just 11 points (2 in the first half) on 3-of-14 shooting. Clark usually does not have back-to-back poor shooting nights, so I would expect her to bounce back against the Aces." 3 p.m. ET Sunday, June 22, 2025, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. TV: ESPN Streaming: Fubo (free trial) In seven games this season, Caitlin Clark averages 19.9 points, 8.7 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals, making 35.5% of her 3-pointers. ESPN's matchup predictor gives the Aces a 60.6% chance of winning. Fever-Aces start at $35 on StubHub
