Welcome to this very special edition of Road Tripin with R.J. and Channing, I'm your host, Ali Clifton.

Earlier this week, the basketball world and beyond lost one of their own. Bill Wollin, Hall of

Famer, NBA MVP, finals MVP, named the NBA's 50th and 75th anniversary team, passed away

at the age of 71.

Larger than life, Bill was a two-time NCAA champ, a two-time NBA champ, on off the floor a legend an icon for as great of a

player he was his love for the broadcast booth was second to none there wasn't a

game I would come by and not have to stay oftentimes just to listen to the humor and insight Bill had to offer. And I know I'm not the only one who shares in that sentiment.

To our very own Richard Jefferson, Bill was like a father, in many ways, Richard and Bill's son Luke, the very best of friends, their family.

For those of you have rocked with us since day one, you remember the night following a cavalier's broadcast, which Bill was calling, that he joined us for an episode of Road Tripin.

I'll never forget. Rich had the idea to see if Bill would join us.

He was a bit nervous to ask, understanding he would have just got done calling a game, maybe would have other plans to tend to.

But as to no surprise, without hesitation, Bill made time. He was his magnificent, full of light and

love with all of the stories he was willing to share and he did it to the fullest.

Truly, it is one of our very favorite episodes.

So in honor of Bill, we'd like to revisit that episode this week and hope you feel and enjoy the wholesome 40-plus minutes

he spent with us here on road trip and like we do. Truly, he's one of a kind.

And from our entire crew, we send our heartfelt condolences to the entire

Wollton family and all of those who came to know Bill and love Bill. He will be so

dearly missed. The Long Strange Trip

trip with Bill Walt.

Hey, here we go Cleveland, Rock and Roll, LeBron James, little Sean,

yeah, Channing, where'd he go tonight?
