Shams Charania is an American sports reporter for The Athletic covering the NBA. After several years of breaking increasingly significant scoops, Charania caught the attention of Adrian Wojnarowski, then working for Yahoo Sports, who described Charania as "the best young reporter in [the] business". After joining Yahoo, Charania began to break significant deals in the NBA. He was the first to break a number of high-profile signings in the summer of 2016, including Dwight Howard's move to the Atlanta Hawks, DeMar DeRozan's re-signing with the Toronto Raptors, Luol Deng's signing with the Los Angeles Lakers, and Jamal Crawford's signing with the Los Angeles Clippers.
