Shams Charania 

Post#1 » by mjba » Sat Jul 4, 2015 3:54 am

sorry if this is common knowledge, but who is this guy? i know he started to get a bit of #NBATwitter exposure last year (maybe in FA?), but he is legit breaking news this time around. pretty impressive (and surprising?) considering he has 14k followers and no major media presence. in any case, i'm sure we're all happy RGM on the come up.

anybody have any info on Shams Charania?

Never heard of him, but for some reason I don't think I'd trust this guy.
New York said Mitchell wasn't the guy you trade the sink for, then they traded it for Mikal, lol.

Because his name is Sham, right?

Been writing a lot of great pieces around here for a while now, pretty awesome to see him with the sources to be breaking news now. Definitely on the come up.

He's the next Woj.

He seems legitimate, everything he has done so far has looked professional and he has been the first to report on multiple stories. Plus, as someone above stated, Adrian Wojnarowski stated that he is a good reporter. He has worked for RealGM for a while, so he seems like he is a true source of information.

Used to go to Shams salaries page for the best layout of nba salaries, but he fell off and didn't update quick enough in last years. I wonder if it's the same dude?

I heard there is a super secret cult and he is their messiah figure. I hear every time they try to find him IRL an NBA player's ACL tears.

I'm not saying this guy is responsible. I'mmjust saying that even this guy's biggest fans are afraid to look for him.

This thread is a mistake.
