Adrian “Woj” Wojnarowski Retires As ESPN’s NBA Insider To Be GM Of His Alma Mater’s Hoops Team


ESPN's NBA insider Adrian "Woj" Wojnarowski is retiring to become the general manager of the men’s basketball program at his alma mater, St. Bonaventure.

Indeed, Wojnarowski, 55 — who grew up two miles from ESPN’s campus in Bristol, CT — has been covering “everyone else’s teams” since 1987, when he got his first byline for the Hartford Courant. He joined the Worldwide Leader in 2017 after stints at Yahoo Sports and New Jersey paper The Bergen Record, among other jobs. During the Covid lockdown in 2020, he was suspended after tweeting a reply to Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), who had sent a mass letter criticizing NBA commissioner Adam Silver and the league’s relationship with China.
