010 - Travis Demers

Travis Demers is the radio play-by-play voice of the Portland Trail Blazers and a radio host in Portland, OR. While in town for the Blazers game vs. the Lakers (first Lakers game since Kobe Bryant's death), Crawford picks Travis up at his hotel and they drive past Staples Center while discussing the Kobe tragedy and what it will be like to call one of the most emotional games in NBA history. Also, Travis explains how he got the job as the voice of the Blazers and how he kept grinding during the lows of his career. It's a sports-centric episode that will appeal to anyone chasing their dreams. Today's Route: From LA Live past Staples Center through Inglewood (meant to drive past The Forum but missed it) and back to downtown past Staples Center again.
