Michael Wilbon Makes Opinion On ESPN's Bronny James Coverage Clear

ESPN personality Michael Wilbon isn't afraid to call out nonsense when he sees it. He made that extremely clear this week. 

Wilbon, one half of ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption," spoke to Bobby Burack of OutKick about a plethora of topics. They started their conversation by talking about LeBron James' feud with Stephen A. Smith. Although things have gotten pretty ugly over the past week, Wilbon has zero interest in entertaining their drama.  

"They can go at it. I refuse to even consume their beef,” Wilbon said. “People are calling me and asking me about it. There is too much ego involved on both sides of it. I don’t give a damn about the [expletive]." 

Wilbon wasn't done keeping it real about the current state of sports media. He then ripped ESPN and other networks for the way they conduct business. 

This rant from Wilbon came after it was brought to his attention that ESPN has spent more time covering Bronny James than MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander this NBA season. 

"That's pandering. It's all pandering. Let me be clear: our business is a piece of [expletive] a lot of days," Wilbon told OutKick. "There is nobody enforcing standards or having tough conversations. This is what happens when you no longer have functioning newsrooms, because everyone is working from hotel rooms, from their bedrooms, and maybe even from their beds.

"People are not in newsrooms anymore or a studio, where you can call them out on their [expletive]. That's a problem. Instead, there are a bunch of 20-year-olds pitching stories while spending all day on social media and reinforcing each other's [expletive]. It's 100% pandering, and I hate it."
