For the first time in history, the NBA Draft is taking place over two nights.

Ahead of the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, the gang on ESPN got together to ponder a number of questions. Atop that list? Where might Bronny James come off the board? After falling out of the first round — as was largely expected — James is waiting to hear where his NBA journey begins.

As is his father, LeBron James.

That led Stephen A. Smith to ponder a once-in-a-lifetime scenario: Bronny coming off the board during the second round to the New York Knicks, and LeBron joining the Knicks on a league minimum salary to play with his son, and the rest of the loaded Knicks roster.

However, Adrian Wojnarowski had a rebuttal question.

Who would Stephen A. Smith take such a big paycut for?

That left Smith — who is usually ready with an answer for anything — searching for a response.

You can see the entire exchange in this below clip, with Wojnarowski’s question coming in at the 1:14 mark:

Of course there is some context that is helpful here, as Smith is entering the final year of his current contract at ESPN. Smith has reportedly received an offer in the $18 million range annually, but is reportedly seeking a contract in the neighborhood of $25 million. All of that context makes this clip even better.

We have 28 picks left to go — the first two picks are now in for the second round — but it might be hard to top this moment tonight.

U.S. Open fans go crazy for Cameron Smith’s boozy polo  u,s,open,fans,go,crazy,for,cameron,smith,s,boozy,polo,sbnation,com,front-page,golf,us-open-golf,golf-majors,golf-fan-reactions,liv-golf

LIV Golf’s Cameron Smith is not afraid to test the fashion limits on the golf course.

Look no further than Saturday at the U.S. Open, when he showed up to Pinehurst No. 2 with a “booze” polo and the same white Ripper GC hat he wears for every round.

While Smith’s polo is not everyone’s style—it is for someone. Golf fashion is subjective, and this choice proves that. It is not for everyone, but neither is what Jason Day or Viktor Hovland wears.

It did not take long for golf fans to see the shirt and post it on social media. Would the masses love it or find it offputting?

Is this polo a vibe or something that should stay in the closet?

Well, fans loved it, and their positive reactions to his boozy shirt were plentiful.

The people have spoken, and this shirt is a vibe. Check out some of the best reactions to Smith’s out-of-the-box fashion choice.

X user and golf reporter Christopher Powers is spot on with his remarks; not many people could pull this off, but Smith can. The blonde mustache and mullet are the perfect additions to this fun polo.

If a beer story is not among the flashcards on the shirt, the designers need to change this immediately because Smith is notorious for celebrating by chugging a beer out of a shoe. With him wearing this polo, hopefully, it honors his favorite cocktail.

X user, Broken White Sox Fan, made quite the statement with his post. He clearly loves it, and for Smith to wear it at one of the three majors is something to note. While many players take fashion risks at the four biggest tournaments, this takes that to another level.

Smith‘s clothing sponsor is Original Penguin, notorious for its traditional and bold options.

Those who like this option can purchase it on their website. It is a unique shirt that will likely get plenty of comments. The fans love it for Smith at the U.S. Open, so it is hard to criticize it.

Golf fashion has a broad spectrum, and this shirt has a place on it.
