Andrew Sharp: Before the season started, I was wondering which team to pick for the Finals.
It’s been three full months since ESPN shut down Grantland releasing a whole slew of writers. During that time, we’ve seen some of the site’s former staffers join MTV News. Sports Illustrated is also picking up its share of former Grantlanders.
Awful Announcing has learned that its latest pick up is Andrew Sharp, who will cover the NBA just as he did for Grantland.
He joins two other former Grantland staffers, Jonah Keri who will cover baseball and write his “The 30” and “Trade Value” columns for SI and Robert Mays who joined SI’s MMQB microsite in November and was welcomed by none other than Peter King himself.
Speaking with Awful Announcing, Sharp said he joined Sports Illustrated because it shared a lot of similar missions with Grantland “particularly on the NBA side with Chris Ballard, Lee Jenkins, Rob Mahoney and Ben Golliver.
There’s so much talent already there and it seemed like a natural fit for me.”
