Shams: I broke the news that the day the Dongmei transaction, my soul left my body and my phone was almost fucked and smoked

May 12th News Recently, the famous reporter Shams was interviewed by FrontOffcie Sports and talked about his feelings when he broke the news about Doncic's transaction.

Q: "When you first received news about Luca Doncic's trade, I'm sure the person who gave you the message must be very reliable, but have you ever wondered if you were cheated? For example, that person's phone was hacked, or someone was fooling you?"

Shams: "The first reaction of a person is definitely thinking that this cannot be true. But the way I heard the news is not that Luca Doncic was traded for Anthony Davis. This is actually a process that lasted for a week."

"The deal happened late on Saturday night. On Wednesday, I got the news that the Lakers and Mavericks were discussing a deal that would send a Mavericks player (not the player in the final deal, and I wouldn't say his name) to Lakers. I looked deeper and got a total denial reply. Then I continued to do my own thing. There were other things to pay attention to in the league. Jimmy Butler and Fox were also put on the trading shelves. There were always some deals you didn't know were going to happen. "

" But then when I heard something was going to happen, I heard, 'Hey, the Lakers and the Mavericks have to have a deal'. I thought it was the thing I heard before, but then I heard that Claiber and Markieff Morris were going to trade. And 'Hey, the Jazz were involved in the deal'. I heard some bits and pieces, but obviously when I got the news from three or four sources and knew more details... "

"Obviously, if there was just a phone call or a text message saying that Luca Doncic was traded for Anthony Davis, I would definitely feel like I was cheated at the time."

"But it was a step-by-step process. When I got all the details - the tweet I sent contained all the information and nothing was missing - my hands were trembling. I knew that this tweet could not be spelled, and there could be no even minor errors. Don't say tiny mistakes, you can't make the message wrong at all, it's not possible."

"It was a night that made people feel out of their bodies, and after that. My phone received 300 messages. One by one. I answered a few calls - in the league Some people, Pat McAfee, Stephen A-Smith. SportsCenter producer Tom Decot called me several times. I had to answer his phone because he was like everyone else: Am I being hacked? "

" My phone was malfunctioning and it was almost hot. After I broke the news about the deal, my first thought was: What the hell is this, why is it like this, and when did it happen? I have to be prepared because I have to report further and talk about it on TV. My first reaction was not to respond to people who thought I might be hacked. At that moment, I didn't think that way at that moment. It wasn't until later that I realized, oh, people really didn't think it was true. "
