The NBA Finals are on tonight, and it appears Stephen A Smith is doing all he can to keep himself from playing Solitaire during the game.
The ESPN analyst made it Take Your Daughter to Work Day on Thursday night, allowing his daughter, Samantha, to tag along for Game 6 at the Indiana Pacers’ Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Samantha was also permitted to introduce herself on live television, and you could tell immediately that she was Stephen A.’s offspring, as she did not want to stop talking.
She said quite a lot in the few seconds she was on, while her father stood by looking like he couldn’t wait for her to leave.
Check her out in the video below:
Stephen A. doubted his daughter could have made friends, as she claimed, in just five minutes. But, based on what we saw and heard, it’s not hard to believe.

It appears social media is already in love with Stephen A.’s daughter.
To be honest, she was a big hit with us too, and we hope to see her back on TV again. The kid’s a natural.
