After Adrian Wojnarowski announced his surprise retirement, people turned their attention to Shams Charania, viewing him as a possible replacement for ESPN’s lead NBA insider. Wojnarowski, a giant in sports journalism known for breaking major news, announced on Thursday that he is retiring from sports reporting to become a general manager at St. Bonaventure University. With his departure, the question arises: can Charania fill the massive void left by his mentor?
After Shams Charania broke the first major news about Joel Embiid’s contract extension since Woj’s retirement, social media has been flooded with jokes and memes, reflecting mixed sentiments online.
A fan humorously wrote, “Woj retired bro u don’t gotta wake us up at 5am any more“
Another joked, “Woj would’ve been quicker“
