Adrian Wojnarowski, the man behind some of the most iconic “Woj Bombs” in NBA history, has once again made headlines—this time not for breaking news, but for auctioning off the very tools that helped him dominate sports journalism. His decision to sell old phones, press credentials, and other memorabilia on the newly launched platform Daps Bounty has sparked a whirlwind of reactions from fans and former colleagues alike.
Wojnarowski, who retired from ESPN in 2024 to become the general manager of St. Bonaventure University’s men’s basketball team, announced this unconventional fundraiser to support the university’s athletics program. The auction includes items like the iPhone he used to report the NBA’s pandemic shutdown and his ESPN credentials. While Woj has clarified that proceeds will go toward funding NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) initiatives and recruiting efforts for St. Bonaventure, the move has ignited a mix of admiration and mockery on social media.
NBA Twitter community that used to revere Wojnarowski and his quick-draw breaking-news skills, has responded with humor and mockery. “leaves ESPN and immediately begins selling his body for money, times are rough out here, call your friends and check in on them” one viral tweet mocked. The over-the-top phrasing gives a hint at how Woj is going out of his way for his alma mater.
