Adrian Wojnarowski was announced on Friday’s as one of this year’s winner of the Curt Gowdy Media Award. The Gowdy winners will be honored on Sept. 5-6 alongside this year’s Naismith Hall of Fame class, for which the finalists were also announced Friday.
“I only had ever hoped to have a career as a sportswriter, and so to me this honor is reflective of all the people who believed in me, gave me opportunities, helped me along this road, and that’s what comes to mind first,” Wojnarowski told ESPN shortly after Friday’s announcement. “So many of my idols, from Jackie MacMullan to Michael Wilbon to Doris Burke to Harvey Araton, have been honored previously, and it’s beyond my wildest dreams to be in that company.”
Wojnarowski rosę to prominence within NBA media when joining Yahoo Sports in 2007. Wojnarowski became known for his columns detailing the inner workings of the league and then was the prominent newsbreaker for the league with the rise of Twitter in 2009.
“I came along at a unique time in media,” Wojnarowski said, “and I came along at a time media and the league were changing, and I was the beneficiary of good timing and incredible support from people I worked with at the NBA, ESPN and Yahoo.”
Wojnarowski retired from sports media in September when he left ESPN to become general manager of St. Bonaventure.
