Adrian Wojnarowski surprised fans by revealing his departure from ESPN, known for his signature ‘Woj bombs’ breaking NBA news. On Wednesday, Woj dropped his last ‘Woj bomb’—this time about his own career—announcing his retirement from the media industry to take on the role of general manager for St. Bonaventure’s men’s basketball team.
A New Chapter for Woj
Adrian Wojnarowski leaving ESPN signals the conclusion of a significant period. After he started in 2017, he became the primary source for NBA updates, gaining millions of followers. From trades to acquisitions, Woj consistently stayed one step ahead. Nevertheless, the job’s demands had a negative impact. As per Adam Schefter, Woj desired to regain control of his life, dedicate more time to family, and chase after goals that held personal significance.
Returning to His Alma Mater
Woj’s choice to work as an executive at St. Bonaventure, his alma mater, realizes a dream he has had for a long time. He was thrilled to be coming back to help students involved in sports at the school and in the community. Schefter commended Woj for pursuing his passion and transitioning to a more satisfying position, despite feeling saddened by his departure.
A Bold Prediction from Adam Schefter
Following his goodbye to Woj, Schefter confidently forecasted the outcome of the 2025 NBA Finals. He predicts that the Oklahoma City Thunder will win their inaugural championship by beating the New York Knicks. Despite being bold, Schefter playfully suggested he could take over from Woj as the next NBA insider if his prediction comes true.
When Wojnarowski retired, the NBA community lost a reliable figure, yet his influence will live on as he starts a new journey at St. Bonaventure.
