The Most Controversial Trade In New York Knicks History

Thursday Sep 07, 2023

In this edition of Dime Machine Flashbacks, we continue on our historic journey known as the Dimeline and explore the most controversial trade in New York Knicks history, getting Earl "The Pearl" Monroe.

Given the massive rivalry between the Baltimore Bullets and the Knicks at that time, as detailed in the recent two-part episode we did, Earl Monroe was seen as the enemy. He was also seen as an isolation player coming into a team that was famous for their ball movement. How would it work? Would he be accepted?

In this episode, Dime Dropper is joined by frequent contributor and New Yorker Fabian PerspecTV @fabianperspectv to talk about the trade, the first half of the 1971-72 season for the Knicks, and Earl's week to week progression.

What The 2015 Golden State Warriors & 1971 Milwaukee Bucks Have In Common & Why Kareem Had The Best First 2 Years Of Any Player Ever

Friday Aug 18, 2023

In this episode of Dime Machine Flashbacks, Dime Dropper continues on the Dime Machine as he finishes the 1970-71 season and talks about that season's champion, the Milwaukee Bucks.

He breaks down how the Bucks went from expansion team in 1968 to NBA Champions just 3 years later. He talks about the impact of Oscar Robertson & Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then Lew Alcindor).

Through studying the season, Dime found some big similarities with a team of the recent past, the 2014-15 NBA Champion Golden State Warriors. Stephen Curry and his squad get regularly discredited due to what people consider an "easier" route to the title and the injuries sustained to Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving in the Finals, leaving LeBron James with nobody. In this episode, he explains why they shouldn't be discredited at all.

He also claims that Kareem had the best first 2 seasons of any player in NBA History.
