Stephen A. Smith was the butt of jokes during Thursday’s episode of ‘First Take’ after ditching his suit to attend Wednesday night’s WNBA Finals game in casual threads.
The ESPN star is typically very dapper given his exquisite taste in suits. However, he opted for a jacket, sneakers, and a fitted cap as he made an appearance at the game between the Las Vegas Aces and the New York Liberty at the Barclays Center.
Co-host Kimberly A. Martin wasn’t feeling the fit and joked that the popular journalist bore the look of an undercover cop.
“Lookin’ like an extra from 21 Jump Street,” she said. “We saw that fit – undercover.”
Smith would try to explain that he was hanging out with his daughter, which he was.
“It was daddy-daughter night,” Smith said. “I took my daughter to her first basketball game. She was right next to me. I was just hanging out.”
