Road Trippin: Richard Vs. Channing

On this edition of Road Trippin', the crew goes deeper into the 2022 NBA Playoffs in highlighting series that should stretch to six or seven games. And why does everyone have a problem with NBA players showing emotion and celebrating? Richard delivers a compelling argument for why there's a double-standard when comparing basketball to other major sports. We also share our thoughts on Jerry West's reputation / if HBO really owes him an apology over his portrayal in their "Winning Time" series. And he doesn't care what you think...Richard stands by his signature hoodie + blazer look in a stuffy TV analyst world. Have a question or topic for our next show?
