My Take
Channing Frye is a player I find easy to root for. At seven feet, he could have settled for being a back-to-the-basket bruiser, but instead he became one of the early stretch bigs, pulling rim protectors out to the three-point line and quietly changing how the position is played. Drafted eighth by the Knicks as the only senior taken that high, he came up the patient, do-it-right way. What I like most is his second act as a podcaster, turning a court vision into a conversational one. He strikes me as a thoughtful, grounded competitor enjoying life well after the final buzzer.
