  • The NBA Is BACK! Road Trippin’ Locks In MVP, DPOY & Championship Picks

    The NBA Is BACK! Road Trippin’ Locks In MVP, DPOY & Championship Picks
    Oct 16 2026
    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. The guys argue over whether Karl-Anthony Towns should take a discount after the Knicks’ title run, why Wemby needs to live in the paint, and whether Chicago has really found its next Derrick Rose. Then the crew makes its picks for MVP, Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Coach of the Year and the Larry O’Brien Trophy. Perk rides LeBron and the Sixers, Channing calls a Knicks repeat and Rich makes the case for the Spurs. Plus, Perk has some words for Ronnie 2K over a 17 rating that we think is fake.

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.
