in the same way that Bill Simmons has sources.

he is famous in the sports world and knows a lot of people by osmosis (and as someone pointed out decades of being in the game)

he doesn't have as many sources as a regular journalist, especially not a newsbreaking journalist, but to think he doesn't hear about things before me and you before they happen sometimes is a dumb thing to assume.

sources don’t necessarily have to be a direct line to athletes…I keep seeing ppl referencing players/athletes “hating” him as proof he doesn’t have sources when he could easily be in communication with the “little people” (couldn’t quickly think of a better phrase) who work with/around them

So little people gon risk they job to tell skip info!?, Lol. The big guys/front office and athletes leaking info is for leverage....small guys risk losing they small check/career.

So skip is paying money to the little guys that are risking they jobs, right???? We saw warriors looking to hunt down the person that leaked the Draymond footage to TMZ....

Skip -- who has been covering sports longer than a lot of this boards members have been alive -- doesn't have any sources in said industry because you & others in sports just, "don't like him." The delusional, naive arrogance of some of you is :dead:
plus everybody know kawhi uncle only talks to skip :troll:

Yeah skip has sources just by having a agent who does aports, by being in with fox sports execs, and having a national media platform that athletes amd athlete reps use to push their side.

Exactly. Skip isn't out there connecting with insiders anymore.
sources don’t necessarily have to be a direct line to athletes…I keep seeing ppl referencing players/athletes “hating” him as proof he doesn’t have sources when he could easily be in communication with the “little people” (couldn’t quickly think of a better phrase) who work with/around them
Of course, but no one has been able to provide times when has relied on those insiders in the last decade.

The closest really the Kawhi injury fiasco in San Antonio.


Skip used to be a big time journalist but he is just a TV personality now who shares his opinion.

Why the hell would be be breaking stories at this point? :dwillhuh:
Why wouldn't he? :dwillhuh:
