Ever dreamt of owning one of Adrian Wojnarowski’s old iPhones or press credentials? Now’s your chance. On Monday morning, the former ESPN NBA insider-turned-St. Bonaventure general manager announced on X that he’s auctioning off several items from his illustrious media career. These include old iPhones, credentials to NBA events, an ESPN ID badge, and even the opportunity to meet him over dinner or via video call. Proceeds from this auction, which can be found on PutABounty.com, will benefit the Bonnies’ name, image, and likeness (NIL) fund.
“BREAKING: Woj Bombs are history, but now you can be a part of them,” the 55-year-old shared on X. “Own the iPhones I used to report the biggest stories in basketball. Use the link to bid on my original iPhones, NBA Draft credentials, dinner with me, and more to support @BonniesMBB NIL.”

While some might question the historical significance of these devices, it’s commendable that Wojnarowski is making this effort. These aren’t just any iPhones; they are specifically labeled with the news he broke on them, including major events like the Los Angeles Clippers acquiring Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the suspension of the NBA season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2023 NBA Draft, and even his own retirement from sports media. Additionally, his older credentials showcase various NBA Finals, All-Star Games, and drafts.
Bidding for the auction items currently starts at $90 for his 2023 NBA All-Star Game credential and goes up to $525 for the iPhone used to announce the suspension of the 2020 season. The auction is set to conclude on Tuesday, March 4. Despite his surprising retirement from ESPN last fall, Wojnarowski remains engaged in his role at St. Bonaventure, a position crucial to his involvement in NIL fundraising. Moving forward, it will be intriguing to see how much Woj’s collection fetches and whether other former media members with old iPhones and credentials will follow in his footsteps.
