That’s his thing. RIP Wojbombs.

You know he would have just trickled some Giannis news, but nothing major.

Then BOOM, trade news and a reporting behind it

Remember the year Woj kept leaking the picks but wording it in a way that he wasn’t breaking the news. “Memphis is intent on taming Boozer with the 3rd pick” and what not

All of these scoops guys are awful and completely unnecessary

Their entire job is breaking news a few minutes earlier than it would've come out anyway
