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.

So much to talk about in tonight's episode. The LA Clippers were involved in a 3 team deal with the Washington Wizards & Boston Celtics that got cancelled last minute due to the Clips pulling out. Marcus Morris and Amir Coffey were set to go to Washington, Kristaps Porzingis to Boston, & Malcolm Brogdon to LA. But given Malcolm's injury history, the Clippers backed out. A trade still took place however with Marcus Smart traded to Memphis and Tyus Jones of the Grizzlies headed to Washington.
In shocking news on Draft Day, Chris Paul was traded to the Warriors for Jordan Poole & Patrick Baldwin Jr. Also will be talking NBA Draft, Max Lewis to the Lakers, and more.
