Adrian Wojnarowski zings ESPN’s Amin Elhassan over LeBron James report
By Dan Zinski
ESPN has been credited with breaking the big LeBron James opt-out story that is taking over everything this fine Tuesday morning. Good job ESPN. Although, if you ask Adrian Wojnarowski, it’s really not that impressive a feat for ESPN to break a story, given their incredible resources.

This amusing exchange went down on Twitter between Yahoo’s NBA news-breaking machine Wojnarowski and ESPN NBA analyst Amin Elhassan. It began with Woj crediting ESPN – therefore going against the sometime-practice of outlets refusing to give each other credit for breaking news – and Elhassan getting snarky.
Wait....don't you mean a "cable television network"?! RT @WojYahooNBA: ESPN first reported opt-out.

@AminESPN You have 75 guys there. You really should break every story. I'd be more worried about that than me.

Burned.
Elhassan attempted to save face by joking about the whole thing.
He finally broke! RT @WojYahooNBA: @me You have 75 guys there. You really should break every story. I'd be more worried about that than me.

Sorry Elhassan, but Wojnarowski owned you that one. He’s been eating ESPN’s lunch for years now on breaking NBA news, and you guys have been jerks about not giving credit. You getting snarky on that is just as lame as it gets.
You deserved to have your ass torched, ESPN stooge. Go make Skip Bayless an egg salad sandwich.
