What’s Stephen A. Smith’s Day (And Night) Like During The NBA Finals?

Before watching Game 6 of the Raptors-Warriors series tonight on ABC, follow the ubiquitous one as he reports from the Finals

To many, Stephen A. Smith is the hardest working person in sports media.

He plays a pivotal role on ESPN’s First Take (10 a.m.–noon ET, weekdays) and hosts The Stephen A. Smith Show (1-3 p.m.) on ESPN Radio every Monday through Friday. That’s already 20 live hours each week.

In addition, he often provides insight on Get Up! and multiple editions of SportsCenter. And he’s very active on social platforms, including Twitter (@stephenasmith) and Instagram (instagram/stephenasmith).

During the NBA Finals, he also hosts a one-hour SportsCenter Special before each game. His day begins with a 7:30 a.m. First Take meeting and often doesn’t end until after his appearance on the 1 a.m. SportsCenter.

What’s it like to spend a day with him? Watch the video above and tag along with Stephen A. during the Finals in Oakland and enjoy captured highlights of his jam-packed day from First Take to post-game SportsCenter.
