A Chat with Adrian Wojnarowski, the Man Who Holds the NBA's Deepest Secrets on His Phone

Just like the spurs, doesn't give a
Woj strikes me as a really driven and compe ive guy. He's the asshole that no one likes because he works too hard and takes his job too seriously, but that everyone really admires and respects deep down.
He's one of the biggest s in sports media, tbh..
Best sports Twitter out there
Did he really say "I could care less"? For a writer that's a major faux pas.
yeah, and he threw an "is what it is" out there too
He's a sports writer. That's one step above blogger.
As long as Woj sticks to breaking news via twitter and not basketball analysis, we're good. He's TERRIBLE at the latter tbh.
He's no TSpence.
He's no tlongII either.
He's a sportswriter with access unlike any other in the NBA including the hacks that work for their TV network. I always found it intriguing that he could do it with a caustic personality. He is retributive towards franchises and they still come to him. Outside of those hatchet jobs, he sticks to facts. Twitter distills his reporting I guess.
He's the anti-espn and I bet they hate that. Dude had Scotty Brooks fired and Billy Donovan to replace him like 10 days before anyone else was reporting that Brooks was in trouble. And countless other examples...dude is money. By the way if Woj reports LMA rumored to sign with Spurs I'll be elated. If Stein of Brussard report it yawn....
he was mean to LeBron
I remember you dismissing his reports of lebron to Cleveland because "he's a geeky nerd who hates lebron"
I think he has that access precisely because of his "caustic personality." I remember that Woj from 5 or 6 years ago mostly just wrote take-down pieces of various teams or players (including the Spurs). And many of those articles were very influential. As of late however (and especially with the advent of Twitter), he has drifted more towards breaking insider news.
I don't think those two are unrelated. It's possible that teams, fearful of negative press from Woj, have been giving him insider access in exchange for positive press. We already know that this is exactly what happened with Joe Dumars.
The Ed Snowden of NBA sportswritting tbqh
how much is woj getting paid? i wonder how much espn would pay to get him.
i also wonder about espn's reaction to the vertical getting more views than espn's coverage of the draft.
That got would fit right in with all the other delusional LeBron haters on ESPN. He actually used to write for ESPN.com on the side until Yahoo hired him.
Who else besides Skip Baseless was a LeBron hater at the Mothership?
Another guy who is positively partisan towards your Spurs.
Bayless
Beadle
Wojacha... Gene
I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.
What's more important than that in judging a media figure if you're a Spurs fan?
I'll put it like this. There's a lot of stupid BS that comes out of the mouth of the these guys that ticks me off, but then I remember we have the Spurs in common and I just focus on that.
