"Go Back To Cleveland" - Channing's LeBron Final Year Plan

28 minutes

In this episode of Channing's Mailbag, Channing answers roadie questions on the OKC-Spurs WCF (and why Wemby needs a goon), James Harden's broken playoff narrative, where Kobe really ranks all-time, why LeBron should go back to Cleveland for his final year, and why he won't touch a Jaylen Brown trade. Plus a Richard story from the club, NBA expansion takes, and what Channing would tell rookies if the league called him to speak.
