Channing is looking forward to Sixers-Knicks at The Garden as the game of the day, while Richard thinks the Mavericks have a great matchup at home against LeBron and the Lakers.

On this edition of Road Trippin', the crew starts by chatting through some NBA storylines including the red-hot Tyler Herro & recapping a "terrible" Celtics West Coast swing. Richard says it takes a player with solid character to come off the bench, especially when they know they could be starting...and that Tyler Herro has really thrived in accepting his role under Erik Spoelstra. RJ also defends his comments regarding what he called a "terrible" Celtics 4-2 road trip. He's holding them to a higher standard and feels they missed an opportunity to send a clear message to the entire Western Conference. We also welcome in our guest Akbar Gbajabiamila, host of NBC's American Ninja Warrior and CBS' The Talk. Akbar tells us about his time as a hoops star for Crenshaw High in the '90s and how he transitioned from the NFL field to broadcasting. He turns the tables on Richard during a hilarious sports-themed "name game" and says his epically bad first pitch at a Phillies game was actually better than Richard & Channing's!

On this edition of Road Trippin', the crew is joined by 2x NBA Champion & current Cavaliers Assistant Coach Luke Walton. Luke has some deep history with RJ & Channing from his Arizona days, and the guys reminisce about their college years under the late/great Lute Olson. From crazy recruiting trips to cutting down the nets, the guys rehash their favorite memories from Tuscon in advance of the new CBS Sports documentary "LUTE" narrated by Luke. We also ask Luke about the Cavaliers' hot start to the season, and specifically how Donovan Mitchell & Evan Mobley have really set the tone for this team going forward.

On this edition of Road Trippin', the crew is joined by Miami Heat G/F Max Strus. Max talks about his unconventional path to the NBA and how players in his position need to maximize every last minute of playing time. We get into the Heat's disappointing start and how a healthy Jimmy Butler figures to have them back in title contention sooner than later. Max also shares his thoughts on our early season MVP discussion, what it's like to take charging fouls from guys like Zion/Giannis, and doesn't miss an opportunity to school Channing on how to throw out an MLB first pitch!

On this edition of Road Trippin', the crew jumps into several early season headlines, including the MVP chatter picking up around Devin Booker, Jayson Tatum & Luka Doncic. The game is in good hands with plenty of captivating young superstars, but who will take the next step and carry their team to a title? We also discuss the Warriors' ability to come out of the West and repeat, if the Clippers can salvage this season and if the Mavericks can break through to reach an NBA Finals with Luka playing his current role.

On this edition of Road Trippin', the crew is joined by Candace Parker of the Chicago Sky. "The GOATess" (as Channing rightfully calls her) speaks to aging within the sport and how she'll adapt her game when those legendary skills start to decline. As for what her body's telling her ahead of coming back for a 16th WNBA season, Candace tells us, "I plan to play." Candace addresses the ongoing Britney Griner situation, which really hits home for her...having played in Russian Leagues for five years and marrying a Russian. She gets into just how scary things are for Britney & her family and how we all need to stay persistent in pushing out messages calling for her release. Have a question or topic for our next show?

On this edition of Road Trippin', the crew runs through all the NBA early season headlines. Standing out amongst the rest are the massive struggles of LeBron, KD, & Steph. Although RJ & Channing both believe the Warriors will be fine, their horrendous road record speaks to their lack of overall focus. RJ reminds you to look at the bigger picture, where we all have to come to grips with the fact that these three superstars are now on the downside of their careers. We have to talk about the surging Celtics, whose players are pulling together and growing up fast with a new head coach. The guys also make a case for the Blazers hanging around in the West, and discuss Luka's golden opportunity to snatch a scoring title and build on his legacy this season.

On this edition of Road Trippin’ the crew is joined by Michael Porter Jr., Small Forward for the Denver Nuggets. We begin by discussing MPJ’s podcast, “Curious Mike” which dives deep into difficult topics with folks from all walks of life. Michael asks Richard and Channing to give some nuggets of advice on entering the podcasting game. As for the on-the-court discussion, Richard throws some 3-point shooter trivia questions Michael’s way and they compare some greats like Kyle Corver, Ray Allen and Klay Thompson.  Michael spent a part of the summer working out with Steph Curry and he talks about the work ethic & competitive nature of Steph and the value of working out with a competitor like that. Getting into the difference between drills and a game, Michael gives the insider scoop on just how good NBA players are in practice and how to really tell if someone is a shooter. Michael gives some dirt on who he thinks people need to give more flowers to in the NBA right now. To finish off the episode, Michael throws out a gem of a question about 3 elite back courts with shout outs to MPJ’s AAU team, MPJ Elite and his basketball program, Porter Basketball Academy.  ► YouTube! 💻 https://www.youtube.com/roadtrippin ► iTunes 🔊 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/road-trippin/id1195897108?mt=2 ► Spotify 🔊 https://open.spotify.com/show/4Q4qqC6UxoTB09ePc14AbB?si=4a514bea430b4b8b 🍷 FOLLOW ROAD TRIPPIN' 🍷 ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/roadtrippin/ ► Twitter | https://twitter.com/roadtrippinpod 🍷 FOLLOW ALLIE CLIFTON 🍷 ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/al.clifton/?hl=en ► Twitter | https://twitter.com/RealAClifton 🍷 FOLLOW RICHARD JEFFERSON 🍷 ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/richardajefferson/?hl=en ► Twitter | https://twitter.com/Rjeff24 🍷 FOLLOW CHANNING FRYE 🍷 ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/channingfrye/ ► Twitter | https://twitter.com/channingfrye #RoadTrippin'Podcast #BlueWire Learn more about your ad choices.
