Woj will visit Toronto this weekend for a free event about Name, Image and Likeness deals and college basketball with Raptors rookie Jamal Shead and others as part of his new job. When he suddenly retired from ESPN in September, it sent shockwaves through the sport. He’s thrilled. Before, it was so hard to just be where he was. “You’re not easy to be around when you’re distracted,” Wojnarowski says. “ You’ve got this one eye on this other thing that’s got its tentacles into you. “And so that’s the best part, to me, is how much more present you can be. You sit down to talk with somebody, and you just turn your phone over. I don’t care who’s calling me in the next 90 minutes, unless it’s a family emergency, right? “And that’s been a welcome change, I’m sure, not just to me.”
