NBA Twitter has been a wreck today, with several beloved figures losing their jobs with ESPN. The biggest sports outlet in the world is losing money, and they’re firing some writers and on-air talent to keep up. Calvin Watkins, who has covered the Houston Rockets for years, received the fateful phone call.
Watkins has earned the love of Houstonians over the past few years, and especially as of late. He was one of the only Rockets reporters with an MVP vote this season, and he used his power for good. In other words, he voted for James Harden.
