When you think of someone who gets paid to talk about sports for a living, you would be excused if you expected some baseline athleticism or skill tied to their game of choice.

When I pick up a football, no one mistakes me for Tom Brady, but I can at least look like I know what I’m doing on a gridiron.
[–>
All too often, though, the reality is that these guys who are getting paid high six-figure and low seven-figure contracts to break down sports every day look like they’ve never touched a ball in their lives.

READ: Shams Charania On ‘Fraud’ Watch After Giannis Antetokounmpo Stayed With Bucks
[–>
I’m reminded of Darren Rovell’s brutal “20-yard dash” a few years back.
[–>[–>
Another guy who has brought great shame to the name of sports journalists everywhere is NBA insider Shams Charania.
[–>[–>[–>[–>
Charania was hooping it up in the Celebrity All-Star Game Friday night, and although he looked the part, he put up a stat line that would make even some YMCA chuckers blush.

Yikes! I hope Kay Adams was watching.
[–>
Shams’ performance is multi-faceted too.
[–>
For starters, he missed every shot he took, and the shots weren’t even close either.
[–>
His teammates routinely got him the ball with wide-open looks at the rim, and ESPN’s insider golden boy was unable to capitalize, hitting the front rim on all but one.
[–>[–>[–>[–>
The best part, however, is that after clanging four three-pointers, Shams was calling for the ball while being iced out by his teammates.
[–>
Brutal.
[–>
I don’t want to be too tough on Shams, though. It’s not like he airballed anything and at least looked like he had shot a basketball before Friday night.
[–>
But for a guy whose life and career revolve around basketball, it was a poor showing.
[–>
Predictably, the fine folks on X let him have it in the comments section as well.
[–>[–>[–>[–>[–>[–>[–>[–>[–>[–>[–>[–>[–>[–>
Now I won’t sit here and say that I could’ve done any better than Shams.
[–>
I’m not particularly good at basketball and when I play, I’m usually a three-and-D type of player, except without the three.
[–>
But I also guarantee if I were in a “celebrity” flag football game, I’d be able to hit a few wide-open receivers as a quarterback.
[–>
Shake it off, Shams! Get back in the lab and work on your jumper.
[–>
America loves a redemption story.
