    Shams can wear the shoes but he’ll never fill them.

  2. TheLastCh1p

    You’ll be missed, so many legendary moments thanks to Woj

    My favorite will always be the DAJ saga

  3. FRESH_FRANK_OCEAN

    Damn. Well guess we know where Shams is going now

  4. imnoobatfifa

    Just saw Shams dancing in the local Walmart?

  5. Now we’re at the mercy of Shams. God help us all.

  6. Shams is laughing all the way to the bank this season

  7. LosAngeles1s

    have to rely on a walking gambling ad for nba news now, it’s over

  8. Shams reported it first. Kidding. Fuck you and goodluck, Woj!

    If shams is gonna be the new woj, who’s gonna be the new shams?

  10. deemerritt

    He created a job and then made a few million doing it, the dream

  11. His last actual news update was about Isaac Okoro of all people

    I did not expect Woj to retire at 9 AM on a random Wednesday.

    Nothing may ever beat the excitement of a Woj bomb when you least expect it.

  13. Woj retired before LeBron, man i can’t.

    final Woj bomb, legendary career, truly changed the sports media for forever

  14. Oh my god. I can’t believe this is real.

    Castellanos going yard tonight.

  15. Shams has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever right now.

  16. Full Statement:

    “I grew up the son of a factory worker two miles from ESPN’s campus and only ever dreamed of making a living as a sportswriter. Thirty-seven years ago, the Hartford Courant gave me my first byline and I never stopped chasing the thrill of it all.

    This craft transformed my life, but I’ve decided to retire from ESPN and the news industry. I understand the commitment required in my role and it’s an investment that I’m no longer driven to make. Time isn’t in endless supply
    and I want to spend mine in ways that are more personally meaningful.
    I leave with overwhelming gratitude for countless mentors and colleagues,
    subjects and stories, readers and viewers. No one has benefitted more than me from the belief, trust and generosity of others.

    The past seven years at ESPN have been a particular privilege. I’m
    appreciative of the company’s leadership – especially Jimmy Pitaro and
    Cristina Daglas – for the understanding and acceptance of my decision to make a life change.

    After all these years reporting on everyone’s teams, I’m headed back to
    my own.”
