Wojnarowski is leaving the company after seven years to serve as GM of men’s basketball at St. Bonaventure.
1. The sports world was stunned on Wednesday morning when the top insider in all of sports gave us one final Woj Bomb.
Adrian Wojnarowski announced that he is retiring from ESPN and the sports media business.
The NBA reporter will become the GM at his alma mater, St. Bonaventure.
As big as the story of Woj leaving ESPN is, there is nothing more to the story than what is out there. He wants a lifestyle change and decided to get away from the non-stop grind of the information business.
Wojnarowski told his ESPN bosses that he was leaving the company this morning, so there’s nothing to report yet about a possible replacement. Obviously, Shams Charania and ESPN would be a perfect marriage.
With 6.5 million followers on X (formerly Twitter), Wojnarowski became a huge fan favorite in the NBA world thanks to his constant scoops and inside information. Fans immediately took to Twitter to share their reactions.
