231: Ben Simmons Needs To Step Up

On this edition of Road Trippin', the crew covers all things NBA during a pivotal time of the season. Knowing Kevin Durant is sidelined for the Nets, how would RJ & Channing instill confidence in Ben Simmons to initiate contact and become more of a scoring threat? Will the injury-riddled Suns recover and make their presence felt by playoff time? How will the media handle LeBron's nightly records chases, and when he ultimately passes Kareem as the NBA's all-time leading scorer? We also look at the bottom of the league standings, where teams are beginning to reveal their hand in the "Tank for Wembanyama" sweepstakes. Channing thinks the Rockets could become historically bad, while Richard believes these teams are missing the boat on getting their young stars meaningful reps in competitive games.
