“I can remember back in middle school, I think it was 8th grade, my friends and I refreshing the RealGM site over and over waiting to see where T.J. Ford was traded.”
Achieving your dreams and aspirations can be a lifelong journey, and it is for most. However, some are blessed with the ability to persevere and work so diligently that their dreams are realized at a very early age.
Shams Charania is a 21 year old who fits the bill of the latter. That’s right, one of the league’s most relevant reporters is only a college junior. How you ask? Hard work and an unending drive to be the best. It sounds cliche and maybe it is, but that’s the story — Shams is outworking everyone and making a name for himself in the process.
Even more scary than the fact that Shams is only 21: He’s already got three years under his belt as a full-time, salaried reporter for RealGM.
“I grew up reading RealGM as a kid so this is an unbelievable learning experience for me. It’s amazing to be apart of one of the most credible basketball sites out there.”
Shams was a normal kid. He grew up in the Chicago area playing basketball, hanging out with friends and doing normal teenage things. Very early in his life, however, he realized he loved seeing news about breaking trades and transactions in his beloved sport of the NBA.
