Perk: Tatum & Jaylen Brown NEVER Had a Real Relationship + Fred VanVleet Joins Road Trippin’

Road Trippin’ opens with Oklahoma City’s injury-hit start, Memphis’ 4–0 run and Ty Jerome’s scoring, and early-season questions around Miami, Bam Adebayo and Giannis. Allie Clifton, Richard Jefferson, Kendrick Perkins and Channing Frye also debate the Jayson Tatum–Jaylen Brown dynamic and share rapid-fire takes on the teams and players to watch.

Then Fred VanVleet joins as Road Trippin’s monthly player correspondent. He reflects on his undrafted “Bet on yourself” journey, explains his relationship with Ime Udoka, and discusses Houston’s championship habits, Alperen Şengün’s growth and the team’s fit. Fred also shares what it has meant to return to the court and why Kevin Durant’s work ethic stands out.
