None of them :facepalm

Their job is to stir the pot and I think they work for the NBA to dramatize the brand. They are not credible and have no sources within organizations.

**** tweets. People that put any weight on all that stuff are sheep.

Woj is pretty reliable and that's the only person I usually trust when stuff is leaked. Other than that I don't really care much past that.

If Woj is confident enough about news to tweet it, you can pretty much bet on the information being correct.

If anyone is telling you they hear sources out of Miami they are liars. There's like 3 people "in the know" in Miami so anything leaked is on purpose or made up or at best just a guess.

Ramona Shelburne is an idiot who gets all her info from Marc Stein.

NBA reporters are a joke. They probably post "anonymous source" rumors that people post on here.

herb?

And who cares if he makes fun of people or not? We're talking about reliability of information, not how nice of a guy he is...

Someone needs to make a Photoshop of that Situation guy surrounded by bottles of sauce so I can have a "Sauces Close to the Situation" avy.

Will rep. :bowdown:

Meanwhile, I like Woj for the national beat and for Celtics stuff I like A Sherrod Blakely from CSNNE.

Skip is usually on point both with his opinions and inside information.

If I remember correctly he was the first one to break the news on Wilt joining L.A when he was just 17.

Straight up it is harder to be at the top of his profession (which he is) then the top of the NBA (which Le2/5 isn't).

Woj is the nba spokesman at this point even he isn't always 100% right

Not news breakers but I like Johnny Ludden and Bill Simmons stories. Always a good read
And Wallace from ESPN. Dude was on fire during the playoff prediction. He picked the correct winner 12 times out of 15 series

Nah, I don't think you would like that much... your humor is different, trust me.

Has any reporter ever got every single thing right though? I'm positive his correct ratio is much higher than most other people, if not all of them.

woj is the only one really.

Broussard is by far the worst, he likes to use guarantees and claim things are 100% only to give a different 100% guaranteed scenario the very next day.

Ira, Ethan Skolnick and Tim Reynolds are all pretty reliable in regards to Heat news.
