Road Trippin’ Show

Hall of Famer Teresa Weatherspoon tells Allie Clifton and Jordan Robinson exactly what she did with that gold medal once she won it. TSpoon opens up about growing up the baby of six with a father who still holds a Minnesota Twins minor league grand slam record, running after her parents' car her freshman year at Louisiana Tech, the mentality shift that turned her into a defensive stopper under Leon Barmore, and the day, nine years ago to the day of this recording, that she lost her mom, including the nightly question her mother taught her to ask herself before bed. She also gets real about mentoring Chennedy Carter.

San Antonio Spurs forward Carter Bryant joins Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye and Allie Clifton after Summer League to unpack a rookie year that stretched from the regular season all the way to the NBA Finals.

Carter also shares Coach Pop’s brutally honest jab-step critique, the calls and texts he receives after every game, his favorite Arizona and Spurs stories, and the family connection that made him a lifelong ambassador for the deaf community.

This week's mailbag gets spicy fast: Channing goes deep on Portland's ownership situation, laying out the math (a reported $4.6 billion purchase price against talk of a $7 billion sale, with Seattle and Vegas expansion fees rumored at $8 to $10 billion) and predicting the Blazers either get a new arena or get sold. He also fires off his all time guard rankings (only Magic, MJ, and Kobe go over Steph Curry), picks Steve Nash over Russell Westbrook, and explains why he'd have chosen the Spurs or Suns if he could've played his whole career for one team.

From there it's a full rapid fire round: Luka's new team and its playoff odds, Kobe's "job's not finished" aura, Chris Paul vs. Allen Iverson, the current top five players in the league, the credit he never got as a sharpshooting big man in Phoenix's Seven Seconds or Less era, the new NBA lottery rules and whether tanking is really dead, and which former player he'd add to the Road Trippin' crew.

Allie's off on a well-earned girls trip, so Ryan Ruocco climbs back in the passenger seat, and comes in hot with the trade that reshaped the deadline: the Sparks sent Kelsey Plum to the Mercury for Monique Akoa Makani, a 2027 first round pick, and a 2028 second rounder. Ryan breaks down exactly why it's a no brainer for LA and a real gamble for Phoenix if Plum walks in free agency. He and Jordan also dig into Minnesota's 108-100 win over Indiana, Olivia Miles' efficient 28 point outburst, Napheesa Collier's near triple double, and make the case that Breanna Stewart deserves serious MVP consideration right behind A'ja Wilson.

Then, in an extra long trip around the league, Ryan and Jordan hand out this week's full tank/empty tank report: Golden State's defense first surge, Washington's sneaky climb up the standings (with a shot at landing Chicago's No. 1 pick), and why Toronto and Portland are exactly where expansion teams are supposed to be right now.
