The NBA Draft takes place in two time-space continuums. There's the time-space continuum that everyone sees on television, sure. Then there's the time-space continuum that exists on Adrian Wojnarowski's Twitter feed. Woj, as his more than one million Twitter followers reverentially call him, covers basketball in columns for Yahoo Sports and on TV for Fox Sports 1. But what he's best known for is, year after year, announcing each pick of the NBA Draft on Twitter minutessometimes even secondsbefore the NBA Commissioner does. That's insane, considering he's the guy who RUNS THE LEAGUE. It's the equivalent of somebody tweeting out the winner of Album of the Year minutes before it is announced at the Grammy's, every single year.

We caught up with Woj the day after the draft, to see if he'd gotten any sleep and if his phone had stopped buzzing. We talked about how he manages to break news before anyone else, and how he deals with angry flight attendants who want him to put his phone away.

Did you manage to get any sleep last night?

Yeah. I even slept in a little bit this morning.

What time did you end up going to bed?

I'd say around 4:00. Probably around 4:00 and I think I was up at like 9:00.

Do you have to keep your phone on loud in the middle of the night?

This job, for me, it's a 52-week-a-year job. It's not about cramming. To me, it's an ongoing conversation that you have to be willing to have for 52 weeks a year. You can't just call people when you need something. And it's a two-way street of sharing information. The work you do over the rest of the year sets you up to hopefully have success in these very intense periods.

So do you know all these picks going in, before the draft even starts?

I feel like I have a pretty good framework of how it might go. But even the Laker one though, to the end, I wasn't sure. Jahlil Okafor and D'Angelo Russell's agents, they were sitting right in front of me, and they were looking at me, going, do you know yet? And I didn't.

Do you have to be on the phone constantly, even when you're on vacation or with the family?

I remember once, my son was young and we were in our front yard playing catch. And my phone was on the front stoop. I'd throw the ball and he'd throw it back. And then I'm like peeking over at the phone if there's a text message or a missed call or whatever, right? So I throw a ball and I go over and look and he's waiting or whatever. And I'm saying to myself, if I'm the guy across the street and I'm watching me, like, what kind of an asshole is that father over there?
