Summary

On this edition of Road Trippin', Richard & Allie react to Nikola Jokic's second consecutive MVP award, and take you through the conference semifinals. No one here is objecting to Joker winning the award, but we look at how the definition of MVP has changed over the decades. RJ explains why Boston will have an advantage vs Milwaukee as the series progresses, and how the Warriors are winning depite not playing their best brand of ball.
