The Road Trippin’ crew is back for the 2026-27 season! Perk opens by calling Tyrese Haliburton a top 10 player, and the Pacers come back healthy with Zubac on the roster.

Why Miami Will Be a HUGE Adjustment for Giannis + Ja Morant Needed a Change of Scenery

In this episode of Channing's Mailbag, Channing Frye breaks down why Giannis Antetokounmpo will always be in MVP mode but still faces a major adjustment in Miami, including the importance of floor spacing and adding another late-game scorer. He also explains why the Clippers are “screwed,” names Kevin Love as the defender he loved attacking, reveals his original NBA Jam lineup, and picks the two cities he wants for NBA expansion. Channing also weighs in on Ja Morant's change of scenery, what Wemby needs to do after running out of steam in the Finals, the moment from the 2016 Cavaliers run that deserves more attention, and the part of his own game he wishes he had developed. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Cold Open 00:50 Giannis in Miami 03:35 NBA Jam + Channing's Game 06:30 The Clippers Are Screwed 10:10 Channing's NBA Takes 17:35 Ja, Wemby & What's Next 🍷 CHOSEN FAMILY WINES: GET 10% OFF wine with code: ROADTRIPPIN10 - https://tr.ee/MS4yqT 📱 FOLLOW The Road Trippin' Show on socials: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/roadtrippin TikTok-https://www.tiktok.com/@roadtrippinshow X-https://x.com/roadtrippinshow 🍟 Channing - https://www.instagram.com/channingfrye/ 🎙️PRODUCED by Rain Delay Media - https://www.raindelaymedia.com/ *New customers in AZ, CO, CT, DC, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MO, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TN, VA, VT, WV, or WY.
