WHO?!?!
Many people may know him, but if you don't.... I will HAPPILY make your lives a lot better. This man goes by the name of Stephen A. Smith, he is a sports analyst on the his very own show on ESPN called First Take. He is very well known in the world of basketball because of his rants and opinions that time to time can be very humorous.
Now I don't necessarily want to be a journalist, to be honest with you I don't even know what I want to do with my communications degree. When it comes to anybody I respect in the field of communications the only person I can think of is Stephen A. Smith. he doesn't necessarily make blog posts anymore since he has a podcast and a show to keep up with constantly; But when he started pursuing the dream of becoming a sports-caster, he made his name through blog posts and newspaper articles in Philadelphia.
What's the Point?!?
Now enough with the back story, lets get to the whole reason on why you brought yourself here. When it came to Stephen A Smith's Blogs he connected with the audience on a personal level. When you read his text it seems as if you are sitting at a table across from him discussing last nights game. it really is captivating how he his choice of diction can transcend his charisma through the text.
The way he formatted his blog was very old school but hey, I mean the blog posts were published before 2010 which we can all agree was a very awkward time for style in general. here let me make a point, since we are talking about Stephen A. Smith here is an example in relation to basketball.
I know, I know, I got side tracked. But y'all forced my hand! I thought y'all wouldn't believe me on the style back then. Nevertheless, The formatting of his blog is very simple and easy to the eye.
What does he even talk about?!?
When looking into the content of what he posts, he seems to consistently have a piece on a marquee matchup that he goes over when he talks about the NBA. These pieces would usually consist of big names that had big games. Following that piece he will then have another section that talks about any other sport at any given time, depending on which league has big news to talk about. Following that he then has a NBA notes section that always caps off his blog posts. this can contain trading rumors, interviews he had with coaches, etc... after the first three pieces he then goes and expands on other sports like football, olympic swimming, the list goes on.
What made his content special was how unfiltered he is when delivering it. I swear to you, if you go watch a random youtube video and watch some of his work on First Take, go back and read his blog... You can damn near hear his voice. its crazy to me how animated he can be with his writing.
That's It?!?
There, there, you can now enjoy some of Stephen A. Smith's funniest moments. Don't worry you can thank me later on the next blog! This is David and... We out!
