For years, ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith has been going hard with his criticism and assessment of various NBA players, coaches, staff, legends, etc. Players and fans often seem to get rattled with Smith’s various takes in and around the sport. But even the NBA analyst has his own weaknesses. It’s safe to say that his weakness lies in his own daughter, Samantha A. Smith.
This was on full exhibition on the recent episode of his own channel, The Stephen A. Smith Show, on YouTube. Samantha made a guest appearance on her father’s YouTube channel, speaking about various topics on the show. But what garnered everyone’s attention was her trolling of her father on his show.
Samantha did not hold back, as she trolled Smith for many reasons. But the one that left everyone in laughter was mocking her dad’s big forehead, claiming that he ‘cannot afford a hair transplant.’
Yes, his forehead has space left you guys, there will always be space! No he cannot afford a hair transplant, keep watching so he can afford it.

To make matters worse, Samantha also claimed that she had a crush on LeBron James‘ youngest son, Bryce James, leaving her father stunned. It is mostly because Stephen A. Smith and LeBron James have a vast history, one that is not on good terms between the two. Hence, Samantha coming out and making this revelation makes this matter more interesting and hilarious at the same time.
As for Samantha, she is a multi-talented personality. She works as a voiceover artist in addition to being an actor, and she can be seen in numerous Disney+ and other streaming programs. Surprisingly, she also did a first-ever voiceover advertisement at only 9 years old, showcasing that talent runs in the family, coming directly from her father.
Notably, her father has vocally and publicly been behind her back, supporting her along the way and her decision-making. She also has a sizable fan base on social networking sites, where she shares wit, lifestyle, and career-related content.
Fans left stunned after coming across Samantha A. Smith roasting her father, Stephen A. Smith
The ESPN analyst did not utter a word when Samantha, his daughter, was roasting him on his own show. Fans could not hold back their excitement and laughter towards this, especially the way she roasted him. Samantha kept her fingers on a disgusted-looking Stephen A. Smith’s forehead and made the statements regarding her father, as mentioned above.
The majority of the NBA and WNBA fans took to various social media platforms to put forward their reactions and hilarious comments on this matter. Many also went on to claim that they need more of Samantha on the channel rather than her father. One fan wrote on X, “It be your own folks.” Check out some of the fan reactions below:

Roasting him and asking "was that good?" at the end is diabolical.

The roast contributes to Smith’s expanding list of offseason headlines, despite all the laughs. He briefly considered running for President a few weeks ago when he appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher, but he later stressed that he has “no intentions of being a politician,” a typical Smith move to be fair.
Samantha A. Smith got out a reaction from Stephen A. Smith before as well
This wasn’t Samantha A. Smith’s first appearance on her dad’s channel. A month ago, she also made an appearance on Stephen A. Smith’s YouTube channel, answering fan questions. Both of them came across different fan questions. But as they were going into it, a hilarious moment occurred between the two.

This was when Samantha quoted one of her friends named Jaylin, on the show, to which Stephen A Smith reacted shockingly, as if he had never heard of him.
Who’s Jaylin? Who’s Jaylin? I have never heard of any Jaylin.

Samantha hilariously cupped her mouth and claimed that he was a very successful actor based out of Atlanta and is one of her friends. Smith, who is often powerless in front of his daughter (as seen above), responded with a pained grimace and a clenched fist.
