Heat Central: Draymond Green DEFENDS Giannis after Channing Frye called him a 7’0 running back who isn’t as skilled: “I think this is a dumb statement. To call one of the greatest in the game Giannis, a 7FT running back is PATHETIC. It takes a lot of skill to dribble end to end and dunk the ball. Takes lot of skill to get in the paint and get finished and kick outs. I’ve seen him take people to the post and put in the rim. — To act as ‘he’s a RB’ cause he don’t have the same skillset as Joel Embiid, ok cool. Then Shaq was also a RB. Kevin Garnett did not have the skillset as Joel Embiid… That’s wack. Calling somebody that great a 7FT RB, that’s clickbait.”
Heat Central: Channing Frye says Giannis is a 7’0 running back and isn’t as skilled as Joel Embiid: “Giannis is a 7’0 running back. He’s just coming at you. If his ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, are injured, he can’t play his style. He does not have the skillset. Meaning shooting, middys, post ups, 3s, to balance that out like Joel Embiid does. Joel when he’s injured, he can just shoot fadeaway and still get 30 PPG. Giannis doesn’t have that skillset because of his physicality.” I need this season to hurry up and start.

Channing Frye: "I think Allen Iverson is the one of the top three most influential players ever to play basketball. But if we're looking at careers, Chris Paul's career is better than Allen Iverson's."
NBA Courtside: Channing Frye says Steve Nash is a better overall player than Russell Westbrook: “Russell Westbrook is the most,top two most athletic guard ever to play basketball though. But, Steve Nash is a 50-40-90 guy. Where Russell has just God-given ability and motor that no one’s ever seen ever before. So, Steve Nash is my guy. So, yes, Steve Nash is better than Russell Westbrook.” (Via @RoadTrippinShow)
Channing Frye: "In Portland, Moda Center is one of the oldest, least renovated or up-to-date arenas in the NBA. It's just a fact. Is it a good arena? For sure. Is it compared to where the Suns play, Sacramento play, not even going to talk about LA games, we're not going to talk about Utah's redone, I said Phoenix, San Antonio, like you need to move Moda Center so that there's a mini city around it."

Channing Frye: "The goalposts moves every time he makes a decision. If he would have went to Golden State, it'd gross. If he would have went to a Cavs, oh he's stacking teams. Let's say he went to Houston, oh you're stacking teams. So no matter what decision he makes, half of the people are going to think it's bullsh*t anyway. So you might as well do what you want. And that's what he's doing. So his legacy, what you going to do? You can't argue with numbers and facts. And no player has moved the needle for as many teams as he has in his career. And that's a fact."
Channing Frye: "Nick Nurse, one thing that's not taking into consideration is Nick Nurse is a beast. And so when you add all these personalities to a team, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, you know, Bron, VJ Edgecombe, you know, Jaylen Brown, you need a coach that can handle all that that's going to put them in the right situation. A lot of them, everyone's going to talk about usage rate, but Nick Nurse made it work in Toronto with, you know, OG Anunoby, Pascal Siakam, Kyle Lowry and Kawhi Leonard."
In 2017, while working as a sideline reporter in Cleveland, she started the podcast Road Trippin’ alongside then-active Cavaliers players Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye. Ex-NBA center and ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins later became an official cohost in 2024. Road Trippin’ is considered one of the first and longest-running player-led podcasts. “It changed the trajectory of my career,” Clifton told Front Office Sports about the podcast. “For a long time, that was what people recognized me for. It was: ‘You’re Allie Clifton from Road Trippin’.’ It wasn’t the five years that I had done with the Cleveland Cavaliers as a sideline [reporter]. It wasn’t even my first couple of years in Los Angeles being a host for the Los Angeles Lakers. … When I’m able to kind of take a step back now and just understand kind of the fuel and the drive behind that and what it has served in terms of my career so far, it’s right at the top.”
Hosted by LeBron James, the luxury multi-country vacation featured core members of the historic 2015–16 roster, including Kevin Love, J.R. Smith, Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye, and Tristan Thompson, with Iman Shumpert and Matthew Dellavedova joining the group later. Despite playing in 13 games during that legendary postseason run, the 39-year-old Russian big was completely omitted from the planning. Speaking with the Russian outlet Sport Express on Friday, Timofey Mozgov revealed that nobody from the title-winning squad text messaged or called him to join the summer trip. “Yes, I saw the video of that party. No one wrote or called me. If I’d been invited, I’d have gladly joined. Of course, I’d have loved to be there too, to drink some wine,” he answered when asked if an invitation had been extended.
Channing Frye: "When we saw Delly, we thought he grew two inches. This dude is built like a WWE wrestler. He is the most yoked I have ever seen him. He said a few years ago he completely changed his whole routine and how he is approaching the game. Delly did work out. He was up with us at night and he was up by himself in the morning. This dude is dedicated to his craft. We love seeing him. You got a glimpse of his personality when he lets loose, but he is always thinking about basketball."

Richard Jefferson on thhe group chat dynamics of the 2016 Cavs: "When we talk about the group chat from the team, there's like six of us, and it's been the same six. There was the full team group chat, then there was the guys that were J.R., Swish, Tristan, Kevin, Channing, and Bron. So that's the group of us. And then we start doing, hey guys, we should get together, do some golf and go do this, and then a conversation kind of got started is, and like, hey, it would be wrong if we didn't invite some of the other guys because it's going to look like, we're calling it this championship. No, it was the group chat from the championship team, not the championship team group chat."
In a joint Instagram post Wednesday between James, Smith, Thompson and Frye, the caption read: "The group chat finally linked up." Another joint post between Jefferson, Love, Thompson and Frye included a video of Thompson delivering drinks to the group on the course, captioned: "We all have roles."
