Stephen A. Smith had a hilarious reaction to a viewer's question about his daughter, Samantha.
The ESPN commentator had his daughter co-host with him as they read through some questions viewers had for them. The question flashed on screen and Stephen A. began stumbling over his words trying to read it. That prompt Samantha to tilt the mic towards her with a big grin on her face, "Read it dad. Read it"
Stephen A. took a big exhale into the mic and read the question, "When is Samantha allowed to date?"

"When she goes to college," Stephen A. quickly answered.
Samantha interrupts him, saying, "Today."
"I'm a senior in high school you guys," Samantha adds.
That's when Stephen A. uses a Bad Boys II reference when Martin Lawrence and Will Smith intimidate Reggie (played by Dennis Greene) when he wants to take Megan (Lawrence's daughter, played by Bianca Bethune) out on a date.
After Stephen A. explains the reference, Samantha retakes the mic and says, "I'm allowed to date you guys," when Stephen A. interrupts her with, "No, you're not."
"I do date," Samantha says.
"No, you're not," Stephen A. says, adding, "What?"
"Next question, next question," Samantha says, laughing.
Stephen A. keeps saying, "What?" and tells Samantha to "get back here" as she tries to get up.
Before he drops the subject, he promises, "We're not even going to talk about that now, I'll deal with you later."
Samantha Smith shares that she had a crush on Bryce James
The dating question came after another fan asked if Stephen A. "hated LeBron [James]." Earlier this year, the two got into a heated argument courtside due to LeBron allegedly not liking what Stephen A. had to say about his oldest son, Bronny James. According to Stephen A., LeBron took it as an attack on his family.
"And the last straw was him approaching me and turning the Bronny thing into something about me attacking somebody's family, when it was him I was talking about. Not Bronny," Stephen A. said on Gil's Arena's podcast before mentioning that the two "don't like" one another.
Samantha, on the other hand, was fond of LeBron's youngest son, Bryce James.
"He's a great a great player and I remember Bronny James too," Samantha added of LeBron's oldest son, who plays alongside him for the Los Angeles Lakers.
"I remember I used to have the biggest crush on Bryce James like a year ago," Samantha says, which immediately got a head turn from Stephen A.
