WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes' brother, Brandon Swoopes, took a jab at analyst Stephen A. Smith after the latter shared a video of himself swag surfing at Norfolk State University. Smith, who was part of ESPN First Take's HBCU tour, posted the clip on Friday.

Swoopes reacted in the comments section, mocking Smith.

"Cornball," he commented.

The term "Cornball" is used informally to refer to a sentimental person or those who carry themselves in an unoriginal way. While there is no evidence of any beef between them, his comment is likely directed at Smith's political affiliations, which some people have taken issue with.

Nonetheless, many were hyped to see Smith show off those dance moves with tons of reactions on social media following his post. The analyst is also known for his enthusiasm for dancing on his shows and broadcasts.


Stephen A. Smith and Sheryl Swoopes battle over Fever star

Stephen A. Smith and Sheryl Swoopes have opposite views over the latter's usual discrediting of Caitlin Clark in WNBA conversations on her show and podcasts. Smith has criticized her for either downplaying the Fever star's impact, picking Angel Reese over her, or praising other Fever players without including Clark.

During one instance last year on her podcast, the WNBA legend gushed over the Indiana Fever while completely leaving out Clark. This got on the nerves of Smith, who wasted no time calling her out. On his show, the ESPN analyst said:

"There seems to be some 'Haterade' in the league in regards to Clark starting with WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes herself. So no Caitlin Clark?... Respectfully, Sheryl Swoopes, do you have any idea how that makes you look?"

Although Swoopes and Smith have different opinions about Clark, the veteran analyst has continued to recognize her basketball legacy even when calling her out. Nonetheless, their regular battle over CC is unlikely to abate any time soon.
