Stephen A. Smith is the host of First Take and inarguably the biggest name in all of sports media.
Because of that, he frequently goes viral. Between his mystery woman vacation partner and his hilarious reaction to LeBron James rolling up on him, he is constantly trending for something.
Smith’s fame is so massive, in fact, that even people connected to him are celebrities. His First Take host, Molly Qerim, really set the internet ablaze with her see-through dress.
This week, Smith made headlines when he showed off his incredible body transformation:
No ozempic, no steroids, just hard work.

Smith’s star power is unrivaled in sports media.
Because of that, it is great to see his taking these sorts of steps to be healthy.
Professionally, he is exactly where he has always wanted to be. Now the same has to occur in his personal life.
Will Smith be able to maintain his new body as the rigors of covering the NBA playoffs in the coming months begin to take effect? Time will tell.
