'NBA's top news source' Wojnarowski retires becomes college team manager
Blog Article
Adrian Wojnarowski, a senior reporter for ESPN, a sports media outlet considered the best source of information on the National Basketball Association (NBA), has officially announced his retirement.
Wiznarowski announced on social media on the 18th (local time) that he had decided to quit his career as a journalist.
ESPN reported that Wojnarowski, who has been active as a basketball reporter, will be taking on the position of head basketball coach at his alma mater, St. Bonaventure University in New York.
St. Bonaventure University is the alma mater of Andrew Nicholson (Korea Gas Corporation), a foreign player currently playing in the KBL. Wojnarowski will start anew as the team's general manager, in charge of recruiting new students and evaluating players.
Wojnarowski has been recognized as one of the most knowledgeable journalists on all things NBA news.
Most news about inter-team trades or player affairs was relayed to the public through Wojnarowski's reports before they were officially announced.
As big trades and shocking transfers became known through 커뮤니티 Wojnarowski's reporting, the expression "Woj Bomb" emerged.
The news he brings is so shocking to NBA players, fans, and insiders that a new word was coined.
Wojnarowski, who has been a basketball columnist for local media outlets in New York and New Jersey since the late 1990s, joined ESPN in 2017 after working for Yahoo Sports.
"It's been a privilege to spend seven years at ESPN. I'm grateful to the leadership at the company for making this life-changing decision," Wojnarowski wrote on social media.
The last news Wojnarowski reported was that Isaac Okoro and the Cleveland Cavaliers had agreed to a new contract on the 15th.
Local media outlets, including the New York Post, predict that ESPN will hire Shams Charania, a "young source" born in 1994, to fill Wojnarowski's void.
Charania is a key basketball reporter for The Athletic, a sports media outlet owned by the influential New York Times.
He joined The Athletic in 2018 and has been locked in a fierce competition with Wojnarowski over NBA coverage for years.
