Road Trippin' Show
Hosted by Road Trippin'
Three former NBA champions and a courtside reporter give an unfiltered, player-centric look at the league's latest news and locker-room culture.
A twice-weekly talk show where retired players, still deeply connected to the league, debate breaking news and front-office moves. The format is less about deep tactical analysis and more about the human side of the game: player mentality, contract politics, and the dynamics of a locker room. The hosts' shared history as teammates provides an authentic, unfiltered chemistry that feels like eavesdropping on a private conversation.
“As one of the original athlete-led podcasts, its longevity and the hosts' credentials as NBA champions give it a unique authority. The dynamic between Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye, honed as teammates, creates a relaxed and often hilarious atmosphere that broadcaster Allie Clifton expertly navigates.”
