The friendly nature of Adrian Wojnarowski and Adam Schefter’s professional ‘rivalry’

Neither of the duo is particularly threatened by the other’s excellence at their jobs. Both Woj as well as Schefter are considered the most reliable insiders of their particular sports.

What this bit of banter has done is to convince the sports fan following that sportswriters and reporters are caricatures in their own right. The nature of the job is such that reporters and journalists almost never get credit for their work.

Woj has built up quite a following over the years during his time as an NBA insider. People look to him for scoops as soon as offseason transaction windows open.
