ESPN’s Jeff Passan responds to Shams Charania hiring with Wolf of Wall Street video

Jeff Passan Shams Charania ESPN Woj (Person)

ESPN has a new NBA insider in Shams Charania, who seemed like the obvious replacement for the retired Adrian Wojnarowski.

So, now what for Passan? He answered it with a couple of posts on X (formerly Twitter), first with the “I’M NOT LEAVING” clip from The Wolf of Wall Street (WARNING: it gets NSFW). Then, he kept it simple: “Baseball’s better anyway.”

That’s it. Baseball fans were very happy with that development:
