Author Jeff Pearlman criticized Pat McAfee after McAfee said on his show that he used advance information from ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania to place a bet on LeBron James’ free agency destination. Charania had told McAfee ahead of time that he would want him on the show that day, which McAfee said signaled that James had made his decision before it became public. Pearlman argued in a TikTok video that the moment showed ESPN had abandoned its claim to journalistic credibility. McAfee recounted the exchange on his show, saying, “We were told by Shams, ‘You’re gonna want me on the show today.'” He continued, “So it’s like, OK, decision’s being made. I just hammered top four. He was at +700.”
