Shams Logging Almost 21 Hours Of Screen Time On NBA Trade Deadline Day Is The Most Impressive Stat Of The Season

I fully admit that I was a Woj guy back when he was dropping bombs like a madman back in the day. I was always fine with Shams for being Woj's understudy in breaking basketball news like a nerdy NBA version of Darth Vader to the Emperor before Vader got burnt to a crisp on Mustafar. OK, that was a really nerdy reference in itself. But all this shit is super nerdy when you think about it.

However, I have no choice but to bend the knee and call Shams my NBA news daddy after seeing those numbers. That was pretty much already the case after Woj hung up his bomb launcher to make the Bonnies a national power and enjoy his showers. But logging a casual 21 hours of screen time in a day is reserved to the truly depraved sickos of the internet (which used to include every Barstool blogger back when the blog truly didn't sleep) and should earn the respect of every NBA fan if not a Gruden's Grinders award. 

Truth be told, I already was warming up to Shams after coming off as a super hard worker during his Pardon My Take appearance:

And had to tip my cap for making Kay Adams damn near melt in her seat during one of his appearances on her show:

But breaking the news of the most shocking trade in sports history followed by going almost a full 24 hours of looking at your screen without your eyeballs bleeding is truly the stuff of legends to the point I have to concede that Shams is officially the King of NBA News. Long may he reign.

P.S. I'd love to have a full breakdown of how long he used each app on that day as well as how many times he checked his mentions, which I'm sure were still flooded with responses to the Luka trade.
