Road Trippin’ Show

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.
