Overall, Smith is an icon who will always be beloved (and hated) by sports fans everywhere. As an employee of ESPN, Smith has been a fixture on First Take and his very own radio show which is named after him.

Today, Smith took to Twitter where he announced that his time hosting the Stephen A. Smith Radio Show is coming to an end. This week will be his last run of shows and then he will simply become a contributor. Smith will remain as a co-host on First Take, which let's be honest, is all that matters.
