NBA veteran Blake Griffin and broadcaster Taylor Rooks took aim at league insider Shams Charania on May 18, 2026, after he revealed the NBA Most Valuable Player before the league’s scheduled announcement.
The two jokingly called Charania “you nerd,” teasing him for publishing the result ahead of the official reveal.
The brief exchange followed Charania’s early disclosure of the MVP, which removed the suspense surrounding the award.
No further comments were issued by Griffin, Rooks or Charania after the lighthearted jab.
