Josh Giddey will win the MVP award within the next three years. I guarantee it.
80000 to 200000, lets get it!
JAYLEN didn't slip on a wet spot
Perk acting like he don't know what a gold thong is, My man has a drawer full of them, sparkly ones too! LOVE THIS SHOW!! You guys are amazing!!!
no need to overreact to the ja thing. just 5 days ago he had 28-8-7 in a win over the suns.
Allie is the babysitter for RJ & Channing 😂😂😂
The Memphis grizzlies stink like basura on the New York j train
Y'all need to add another night of Road Trippin ❤❤
29:20 😂 Channing “Charlotte exicting but they don’t take it seriously”
Jayden ivy
Yeah Perk cuz he ain't Asian, he's black right? You saying Lin can't hoop? What? Something wrong yar eyes
THEY DONT CALL STEW AND DUREN THE DOG POUND FOR NO REASON 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Immanuel Quickley would be a cheap option. Cam Thomas would be fire on the Pistons!!!! Ain’t shit funny🔥
Road trippin my favorite nba pod
Jaden Ivey is the #2 but he’s been injured
Allie, your so gorgeous. And Big Perk, my guy all the way! Hugs from Santa Barbara 🏀
Didn’t the Griz trade 3 starters in 3 consecutive years? They also fired a coach, right? How good are they planning to be?
This show is getting better and better and better.
Josh Giddey will win MIP! Shout out Perk
A little privileged to say that hes lost the joy to play basketball. Some guys out here are busting their ass trying to just get in the league and onto a roster.
I feel like you guys haven't really responded to the travesty of a 40 mil/yr player having the audacity to say he lost the "joy" to play!? That was some immature, childish, disrespectful shit to say! No professional athlete who is paid like this should be allowed to say shit like this and get away with it , leave alone get his way
their predictions were horrible on the bulls/sixers game lmfao
This show deserves a million subs. Never miss it!
Memphis lost their soul when they got rid of Stevo.
I don’t know if Ja can be your best or second best player on a team looking to win a championship.
Somehow this has become my favorite basketball podcast lol
JADEN IVEY
Y'all definitely deserve more subscribers. One of the best sports pods in the game!
I think Cade really needs a vet PG to really take it to that super star level. Get Rondo from Bucks coaching staff and send him to the Pistons. That’ll be a team to fear
🔥🔥🔥 All NBA all the time ❤
Perk is a terminal bootlicker
Aint no way yall sayin willie a good coach
14:55 Ausar is definitely their second best player but he’s not a second scoring option. Perk is right, Tobias is second (needs to be third), Ivey is supposed to be second but that’s not happening this season, if ever. A trade for Lauri is the play.
Channing with the Thumbnail… Sad
RJ’s entire Nuggets tenure was a slump
18:26 the best 30 second clip ever lol
I'm sharing Road Trippin on LinkedIn so you know it's real 😂❤
frye is the first guy to not jus take the coaching staffs side and being a realist, kudos man
I cant get enough of RJ shitting on JJ. Thats real friendship lol
I came in once I did not see perk in the name or thumb and said finally no perk, but here he is. F***
Man Ja is a child lol
Perk is stupid ❌
People are forgetting about Tyrese Maxey in 76r's. He's the league's leading scorer, behind Luka, playing at an MVP level… The guy is 34.4 pts | 8.4 ast | 4.9 reb. To me, he's already the second-best player in the East, behind Giannis, and they didn't even mention him in the east. Cmon lol
Hearing Brown complain about a missed call is hilarious — remember the Celtics reaction to the no call when Tatum fouled Bron for the game winner ? 😂😂😂😂
Perk “ Ammanition “ 😂😂😂😂
Uhhhh yeah Austin reaves and Luka averaging the highest scoring duhh! Lebrons not playing! Makes sense
I think every young player that comes in needs a veteran mentor….the money, the fame is sometimes to much for a young player….Ja needs a veteran that can take him under there wing and teach him how to be a professional. Now on the organizations side of things…..they have some negatives as well but they let this situation get out of control
This show is corporate trash for having Perk spew some nonsense. Also, Miami has Noah LaRoche, who is the coaching system that Ja actually didn't like and not Taylor Jenkins, so why would he want to play in that system? Ya'll buggin
As far as talking basketball, Road Trippin’ is one of the best podcasts out here.
