Former ESPN -Isider Adrian Wojnarowski gives Basket fans the chance to own a story by auctioning their old mobile phones.
In September, Wojnarowski stunned the basketball world when he announced his pension from Breaking News. As ESPN’s best newsbreaker, his updates – “woj bombs” – simply fans with blockbuster movements, shocked his updates – apparently from nowhere.
Wojnarowski passed away because of the intense requirements to be NBA’s best insider. He often went days without sleep, missed flights while waiting for buckets and was often distant from his family because of the severe nature of the job.
The prolonged sports journalism Pioneer has since been resumed by an opportunity with his Alma Mater, St. Bonaventure Bonnies basketball program for men. He now leads the program’s name, image and similarity (nil) efforts, which have quickly received attention to collegiate sports.
As part of these efforts, Wojnarowski auction off his old iPhones, press certificates, ESPN medium brands and even telephone calls and dinners with the former reporter.
His available phones include an iPhone 11 which he used to announce the NBA’s suspension of the game because of the Covid-19-Pandemic, an iPhone XR that he used to break the news of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George collaborated with Los Angeles Clippers, iPhone 14 He used to cover the NBA draft lottery that landed Victor Wembanyama with San Antonio Spurs, and the phone he used to cover its final NBA draft.
As of Monday evening, the bids for these phones extend from $ 250 to $ 750.
Other articles include his press pass on 2021 and 2024. His draft NBA draft by 2023, from the Wembanyama year, was already up to $ 750.
Fans have a week to bid on these collectibles. While the phones are probably dried by all insider contacts, messages or information, the idea is that a spurs-fan could own the mobile phone used to announce their franchise-changing draft of the choice.
At the end of the auction, St. Bonaventure Nil -Fonden collects close to $ 10,000. It is a significant sum for a few objects that are probably put in Wojnarowski’s junk box.
He has been transparent about the enormous stress of his career, especially in recent years. Farewell with these objects from his last seasons is likely to give a sense of closure – while also helping to finance his new endeavor.
Wojnarowski revolutionized basketball media. Now he calculates the zero game one old iPhone at a time.
