Another NBA writer based in the United States, Sham Charania, is transitioning from The Athletic to ESPN to become their chief NBA insider. After that Charania announced the news to his 2.4 million followers on X and then said,  “I am honored to join ESPN as the company’s Senior NBA Insider. I can’t wait to be part of an incredible group of colleagues at ESPN and serve the sports audience worldwide.”

Better known to most of the NBA and all avid Twitter users as simply ‘Shams’, Charania will be replacing Adrian Wojnarowski, his previous employer. In September, Wojnarowski retired from the media, after becoming ESPN’s primary NBA news correspondent for years. That Charania is now spearheading NBA coverage for one of the leading sports television stations is therefore a radical transformation in sports media. New horizon in NBA journalism arrived with Shams as a fresh face presenting the breaking news and opinion as a successor to one of the best of the profession.

Everyone across the NBA and plenty of media circles were having discussions about who ESPN will use to replace Adrian Wojnarowski. Would the network attempt to replace such a legendary person or shift gears at the very time sites like X are declining in importance? Then Shams Charania signed up with ESPN, and it became clear where the network stood. The networks hope to continue building their NBA coverage around a big star such that at any one time viewers must be informed in real time.

ESPN has recently inked a breathtaking fresh broadcast contract with NBA so this path is precisely opportune. Since Disney, the owner of ESPN, have set their bar to a staggering $2.6 billion for the future seasons starting from the 2025-2026 financial year. This partnership illustrates the commitment that ESPN has for being ahead of other media organizations that covers NBA. ESPN is backing up this strategy of offering live coverage alongside brief news updates through this historic broadcast agreement as well as through the acquisition of Charania. This will enable ESPN remain as the fans preferred source of information on NBA in the ensuing years.

Shams Charania’s contract with The Athletic was soon expiring, and after Wojnarowski’s resignation, he made a low profile visit to the ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut. This implied that the Charania was on the potential list of insiders awaiting ESPN’s anointment –a piece that insiders themselves never publicly deliberated.

Since he was associated with a betting site, Charania, who co-hosted an NBA event with FanDuel, was criticized by his colleagues at The New York Times that owns The Athletic. To facilitate the transition from his old employment with the gambling organisation to his new position at ESPN and the latter it is evident that Charania will not be with ESPN anymore.
