USA VS CANADA LIVE REACTION | Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye, Kendrick Perkins, & Tristan Thompson

USA men's basketball (Steph Curry, LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, and more) just wrapped their friendly against Canada (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jamal Murray, Dillon Brooks, and more). Join the Road Trippin' crew (Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye, Allie Clifton) along with Tristan Thompson and ESPN's Kendrick Perkins to discuss their takeaways from our first look at Team USA!

[@heirsperry870]

🤣🤣🤣 Perk pure comedy when he ain’t fightin wit dem folks on espn

[@snirest]

Am I the only one to think it’s a bit nutty to spend 15 minutes analyzing Jalen Brown’s potential FEELINGS???

[@jaymack6864]

The shit gay! They need to get off his sack 😂

[@fredydeangel4615]

If this was during the 90's nobody would care, but sadly in today's sports topics, people"love" speculating other people's view of their situation. It happens at least once every week.

[@propertypreparedness6846]

No, you’re not the only one. I think that’s the exact reason he is not on the team.

[@guppy90rl81]

Considering he won chip and absolutely balled but isn't on the team. Yea

[@screw41]

Yeah but if the reasons he wasn’t on the team were purely basketball, then this conversation wouldn’t be taking place at all. There’s legit no basketball reason DERRICK WHITE should be going over JB. So what’s the real reason?

[@arashhejazi1602]

Perk saying what's going on is hilarious

[@therealOG513]

I think the REAL question is if Road Tripping would exist if that Cavs team never won 🤔

[@zj8478]

Start AD and or Jrue AND or Tatum AND OR Anthony Edwards 😆 Can’t really go wrong. Just get Embiid outta there for load management purposes lol

[@bagbroch9339]

Someone get Tristan goofy ahh some headphones man it’s 2024 how are we still doing this?? 😂😂

[@Saxandfifths]

Tyrese is like 4-5 years into his NBA career and this is his first Olympic atmosphere game. Of course he'll get better, Channing.

[@Nick-zl5xf]

Imagine watching him lead the team in +\-, assists and steals and your reaction is “this cat doesn’t belong”. Championship level hating from Channing

[@jingbarilla4438]

i'd watch this more than Gil's Arena, please do this more often

[@chap1590]

The audio is horrible.

[@toddgoza3522]

Dope show you guys have a lot of fun

[@dakotaflowers0]

I wasnt drinkin grey goose and hennesey, i was somkin that loud 😂😂😂😂 same perk. Same.

[@tonybayarea]

Get your garage in check Perk😂

[@Raptor77.]

The audio is so bad man, the squinching sound is insane.. ever since the show became zoom full time it just feels half assed

[@caseytorresangeles4052]

facts

[@bluecheckmiya]

@@caseytorresangeles4052I don’t understand either when audacity is literally press record and then press stop. They can literally get everyone $50 Samson Q2U mics that are plug and play, get them to hit record on their audio, and send all the files so they can edit it and get it right. It’s easier than ever to be quality and somehow no one that’s producing the show has suggested any of this

[@20775046]

Truth

[@Shamgod-Pirate]

I'd respectfully disagree. I do think Tristan's mic definitely sucked lol. But I wouldn't say the show is half assed. They've been doing these lives more often which is great for real time reactions, instead of the once a week videos (which are still good imo). Also these guys live all over, it's not like they're always in the same city to do an in person podcast. I think they have some of the better opinions when it comes to basketball, so I'll take a zoom podcast. But yeah I agree with you in that the audio sucked this time.

[@Shamgod-Pirate]

one more thing I forgot to add was, I guess a benefit of doing the once a week episodes is they usually put time stamps in. So we can hop around the video if we wanna skip a part. That's some thing that's missing from the lives and I guess could be considered "half assed"

[@noblevessel220]

Yo, this episode is hilarious 😂😂😂

[@JakeDantoni]

We NEED a couple episodes a week!!!! Y’all are hilarious

[@jrkinley]

They have to do something about the echo damn lol just mute your mic if you aren’t talking

[@ethangildone865]

“Why doesn’t anyone talk about Andrew Bogut?” - Channing “Because nobody wants to hear about him” - Tristan 😂😂😂

[@maliklanga632]

Channing and Tristen patting down their 🌊 in unison got me rolling at the 39th min 😂😂😂😂

[@joeb2756]

RJ stunting on all the haters ahhahahahah love it

[@Kipmoney_]

The best content on KZbin.

[@quetsia]

You no longer update the audio version on Apple podcast? I’m a big fan of it and i lost track of y’all

[@reggienoble3195]

Show got really good once people started muting their mics...Please please address this before u come on the air next time as I almost had to close out the video at the start due to all the background noise...Please be professional...Love the show..

[@marcheezy.]

Maybe Jalen Brown is working for NASA this offseason.

[@jaylenclement]

That Cavs team had to have a fun ass locker room

[@kaleb324]

08 has the three best players out of 08/24 teams

[@rjchilds84]

Did someone ask why Tristan wasn't on the Canadian Olympic team? Aint no way. 😂

[@Onechance_ngl]

No when the first unit couldn’t get a bucket in that first quarter it was when AD checked in the game the tide changed. AD was the first guy to come off the bench if I remember correctly and the atmosphere of the game did a 180!

[@vellebechillin]

views going crazy since the 342 switch no cap love to see it

[@user-rm4wb9uy8c]

It is definitely not the best team fry. It will never be another dream team like them guys. The world has gotten better everywhere

[@brandenhall4672]

I don’t understand this big to do with the Olympic team. It was stated a month ago that Derrick white was the front runner to replace Kawhi if he was unable to go. This didn’t come out of the blue.

[@Wiggs22]

Tristan needs to be a part timer like Kendrick !!!

[@ozmarik4676]

They decided on the replacement a month ago.

[@pumathegod2554]

See I feel like RJ makes everything make sense him and Channing, Perk did great here I’m glad he said himself that the media he works for is doing to much , I’ve been saying no 55th pick of the second round has ever been covered this much like ever so when did everyone start caring about the 55th pick ?

[@KingRyuMC]

Ant scores 13 pts on 10 shots and he’s the best player on the floor.. Steph scores 12 pts on 7 shots, by far the best spacer, ball handler, and playmaker on the floor and doesn’t even gets mentioned 😂😂😂

[@mrpopo5097]

AD was the best player on the floor. He did offence and defence equally

[@KingRyuMC]

@@mrpopo5097 playmaking and floor spacing is just as important as defense

[@BornGiftedMusicGroup]

How perk tells TT to mute his mic but he don’t 🤦🏾‍♂️🤣🤣

[@user-rm4wb9uy8c]

Jason Tatum looks like he is still in the finals looking really good

[@C-Rod7x]

CAN WE TALK ABOUT COOPER KUPP!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jstinson7072]

Top 3 Olympic teams in order: 92, 2012 followed by 96. They tripping picking any other team and I understand there is bias involved

[@JasonWalkerJamaica]

Tristan’s family is from Jamaica 🇯🇲, I am sure that he has some stories.

[@brucebanksshow]

Leaving Jaylen Brown off the team is a crime.

[@arielparsons7159]

Maybe it was when JB called out Nike over Kyrie comments

[@Just1morehour]

Making too many excuses for Embiid…the best team in the world and he’s an MVP….he’s isn’t the guy that should be out of shape….he knows it’s the Olympics he knows what’s expected…..I’m a huge fan of Embiid….but they could’ve brought in someone else. Very unimpressed with him.

[@godismysource9014]

Saying you have the best live show in sports when inside the nba still exists for 1 more year is crazy

[@farrasskicker]

Jordie Fernandez killed Canada by having Nembhard run the second unit instead of staggering Shai and Jamal whos not used to playing together.

[@AidanXavier988]

Probably intentional - we're not showing all the cards up our sleeve quite yet. Remember we're building up with these friendly games.

[@mollyweir9350]

Toronto sports media said that was a hockey unit. That is not how the 2nd unit rotation would look. Shai or Jamal will be there on 2nd unit at all times. I think he should start Khem & Powell * provided he learned to shoot the 3.

[@farrasskicker]

@@mollyweir9350 nah I think the starting line up is fine as long as they stagger Shai and Jamal (even RJ), if they were to start two bigs I’d rather have Powell with Kelly or Lyles since they both can stretch the floor with their shooting a bit.

[@user-rm4wb9uy8c]

They already picked their reserves just in case things like the Kawhi Leonard thing

[@frederickcanady8145]

Yall must see real talk to someone who watches podcasts!💯💯💯👍🏾👌🏾

[@wehwehn29]

First 5 : Curry Edwards Embiid Durant James 2nd Unit : Holliday Booker Davis Adebayo Tatum Bench : White Halliburton

[@jondykstra6190]

Flip Booker and Halliburton

[@dukedaboogie9973]

There’s no way in hell Embiid should start over AD unless they in there together

[@johncraig4820]

33:55 Still a fan of 1960, Oscar and West. Get that they were college players then.

[@iAMtheDJnow]

Joel literally fouled out in a friendly in 12 mins…. Somebody get Dwight Howard on the phone

[@XxVenom33xX]

I can’t believe Perk brought up Jason Whitlock in an attempt to slight LeBron + Bronny and thought y’all would agree with him. Perk really a nasty human being

[@terrellb.1365]

Like why even bring that up ? Bro just wanted to throw shots at Bron and bronny “ someone walked up to me at bar and said bronny ain’t that good” nah nobody said that 😂

[@kenpendelton9638]

PERK IS LAME AS FUCK THE FACT HE THOUGHT THEY WAS GOING TO AGREE WITH THAT BULLSHIT THEN TRY TO SWITCH IT UP AND LIKE HE DIDNT FUCK WITH WHAT SHITLOCK SAID PERK IS A GOOFY‼️

[@selanryn5849]

I mean, he willingly chooses to live in Texas.

[@alansnow1129]

96 Olympic team is in top 3 teams of all time

[@Bugsygb1]

Bro thinks Mr Glass is gona get fit XD trololol

[@DGF2]

The Warriors had slapped the Cavs in 3 of them first 4 games, and needed a Draymond suspension, Bogut and Iggy to have back injuries in order to come back and win. It wasn't really close before Draymond threw that elbow to the ding-ding!

[@kennycooper294]

yup and they still won, they could have thrown in the towel but came back and spoiled the dubs best season

[@DGF2]

@@kennycooper294 .....that's true as well.

[@rkms5606]

And lost the series in historic fashion. Let it go

[@DGF2]

​@rkms5606 Nothing to let go. There was a question 49:33 ....and it was specific to what could the Cavs have done if Draymond wasn't suspended. They most likely would have lost considering what the series looked like up til that point. They earned their title, but the hypothetical question was given a hypothetical answer.

[@propertypreparedness6846]

Regardless of JB being on the team or not. The fact it wasn’t a congratulations to his team and it turned into a drama fest is the problem. No way, even if I was pissed, would I not publicly congratulate my teammate then have convos behind the scenes. Don’t make DW feel like shit bc he got the opportunity.

[@marcheezy.]

RJ, just tell your editor to bleep the pundit's name out.

[@bagbroch9339]

Bruh this intro is killing me 😂😂😂😂 some straight clowns

[@A1since]

Allie.... you better m9ake these boys give AD credit.

[@crackmarci]

31:47 2012 is better than this

[@superSIZEmee]

Bronny was the 55th pick with a lottery pick’s contract…! #NBAGaslightingUs 🤷‍♂️😂

[@bagbroch9339]

That cavs team was a fucjin supwrteam. No one ever mentions that cavs team was a super team too

[@brucebanksshow]

Doesn't Ally have a ring with the Cavs?

[@tonybayarea]

Perk need to move 😂, dealing with hurricanes all the time.

[@jackfahey5741]

Goated

[@FATHERSOFBASS]

Lovvve me some alley💙💙💙

[@matthewsteele7601]

Perk averaged 5.4 points per game over his career 😂just saying 🤯😂

[@tonybayarea]

Bronny isn't a make a wish kid. Does remind me of the movie "Like Mike" with Bow wow. When Bow Wow won a contest to the play in the NBA. The contest was run by Bronny's dad Lebron James.

[@bagbroch9339]

Dismissing Draymond suspension is crazy. Warriors win if Lebron doesn’t call Kiki.cavs don’t win 2016 if Lebron Nike and Kiki don’t conspire. That Draymond suspension was insane. You’re not real champs.

[@slow_Jo]

too bad this canada team don't have Wiggins or Tristan. They too small without them.

[@jsarutobi1515]

“Superstar Role player” is too political to snub Jaylen Brown

[@jaymack6864]

You don’t get paid for the olympics ? I see why some people Opt out.

[@rjchilds84]

Steph Tatum KD Bron AD. The only correct answer.

[@mca217]

Perk is in the Bat cave. Bat Perk 😂

[@Mitch_Feral]

Embiid not only totally out of shape, but he's been throwing elbows already. He is even worse about trying to hurt other guys when he's winded, which is every single minute, now.

[@BHunter1088]

Tristan definitely be sliding in Allie's DM's like a weirdo

[@raheem4958]

Yeah what’s wrong with bro’s voice tho

[@jaeb1]

This is why Bron loves RJ , perk is a damn fool for bringing Bronny up, shit is sicking atp if bron wants to play with his son then let him do it.. bron earned that right! He Just talking shit for no reason atp.

[@stepheni5783]

USA defence gonna be a problem for us Canadians.

[@mollyweir9350]

It is just the front court size with AD & Bam. Ain't worry about Embiid. I guarantee you he will get ejected at one of these gms.

[@josephrafferty6763]

50/50? Lol. Could they have done it? Maybe. But it would have been a lot less likely (and it was already a major upset).

[@obamasjumper]

US of Ant

[@irabonta1874]

It's AD MVP

[@devinlowe3495]

Man they gotta be careful with Tristan…he’s about to start tellin some stories 🤣

[@PardonMyGenius]

US team is beatable

[@FATHERSOFBASS]

Kendrick tell me this is your son was gonna be able to play with you! You wouldn’t do it…

[@BornGiftedMusicGroup]

Lebrons Exes 🤣🤣

[@user-rm4wb9uy8c]

The reserves are picked already when they choose the team. They also got reserved. They also choose been doing it for years big come on man. You’re my favorite sports analyst. Come on now you know better than that lol lol lol

[@superSIZEmee]

Grant Hill is a Legend, & I respect his legacy. But he’s been terrible at selecting the players for the USA TEAM…!!! Is a sabotage or what…🤦‍♂️

[@ryanmirdadian9850]

How you not gonna start Steph lol

[@marqellebarnes5]

I fuck with y’all

[@specialKE]

Perk and Tristan eatin crazy off Bron and Celtics success no hate tho 😂

[@ebrowne25]

Tristan definitely had an impact tho

[@bagbroch9339]

You guys literally work for Lebron what are you talking about??? This podcast is a JJ x Lebron production come on man!

[@bagbroch9339]

The defense guys like Richard do for Lebron jr aka bronny is why our hater muscles flex up. Appreciate everything Richard said, but his defense actually hurts the kid. Just like this beijg a JJ owned show hurts Lebron. Like Allie being hired even though she’s great because she’s a Lebron disciple hurts lebron. We will keep hating because you guys insist that we do. You all exist to make sure we hate on Lebron. Now he’s brought his son into it. So he’s gonna catch it too. I’m tryna so hard to not hate on the kid, but you guys make me have to hate on him. You don’t understand hating. Your hype makes us hate. If he was on the suns or the spurs or the pelicans or whatever, we’d leave him alone, kid got a 4 year guarantee when he should still be in college and you’re gonna act wild Foh: the hater muscles become strong. Same as with his dad. The king at age 17. Gtfo h. Pure hater muscles from their own hyping of themselves. Learn about this, Richard.

[@IluvKsusha9894]

I love Channing but him cussing the guy that lead the L in assists and is an ALL-NBA player when Channing was a trash guy off the bench is not cool

[@acesimmons1531]

Terrible argument for the USA Team by Richard when they literally replaced a superstar who is just injury prone

Lol Melo was one of the best players on that 08 team and it's at least 6-7 people better than him on this team. Stop it, Tristan. This team over any team except the Dream Team for sure.
