Dime Travel

The NBA's most famous single eyebrow and His Majesty Lebron James were sovereign rulers over an NBA season unlike any we've ever seen. Would these Lakeshow acrobats keep their bubble year title once we start stirring the pot? Let's mask up and find out.

Shaq and Kobe were pretty good. But upon reexamination, were they in fact the best team of the 2000 NBA season? I mean, probably. But are we sure? Hop aboard the aurora borealis with us and find out.

Join us as we surf through time to examine the 1965 NBA season. As we keep rolling through the seasons we once again find ourselves double checking to be sure that the Russell Celtics were in fact the best team. It's an odd job, but someone has to do it.

The Lakers and Celtics dominated the 80s, with only a couple of exceptions. One of those exceptions was 1983, when Dr J and Moses Malone led the 76ers to a championship. Or did they? Sure, the Fo' Five' Fo' playoff run was impressive. But that is just 13 games. Who was the best team for the 82 game regular season? Buckle in and we'll tell you.

What even is a Knick? And why do they think they deserve the title for the 1973 NBA season? Is it because they won some silly post season tournament? Well, here at Dime Travel, that just isn't good enough. Lets see if Wilt or Cowens have something to say about who gets that sweet, sweet 1973 ring. So pack some PB&Js and come along for the ride.

It was the year before The Decision. A second consecutive Laker title sent Lebron and his talents to South Beach. Well, what if Kobe and the Lakers weren't the Elo Champion for that season? Does that change where the kings goes? Does the king stay? Oh, and also, how would the draft change if there were still territorial picks? And who on Earth is the Armadillo Cowboy? Those are just some of the qu...

Sometimes I dream...that he is me. That's how the rest of the NBA world felt about George Mikan and the Minneapolis Lakers. But in a world without a post season, who will be the real champion in 1950? Pull up a chair and we'll tell you.

With Jordan retired there was no one left to stop Hakeem and the Rockets from winning the post season tournament. That's cute. But were they able to win the more challenging, more competitive, more meaningful regular season championship? Or could Kemp and Payton, Robinson and Rodman, or Ewing and Starks have something to say about it? You can only find out here.

What do Ice T, Alec Baldwin, Prince, Madonna and Michael Jackson have in common? They were all born in 1958 of course. 1958 was filled great moments, including in the NBA. We take a look deeper to see if the St. Louis Hawks can keep their only championship in franchise history.

The Flash and Diesel. Kobe, Nash, Duncan, Dirk. 2006 was a veritable stew of elite NBA talent. That stew also included controversy in the playoffs. Let us take a look with our fail safe Elo solution, to see if we can sort out the best team of 2006.

At the end of Magic-Bird and before Air Jordan there was 2 years of Laimbeer, Dumars, Thomas and Rodman. At least that's the way the you might remember things in your universe, you weirdo. Take a flight in our pym-particle-powered phone booth time machine and find out what really happened in 1990.

Yawn. Whatever. The Bill Russell Celtics always win the championship. Or perhaps we should say, they always win the post season tournament. But do they always win the more important regular season Elo Championship? Can Jerry West and Elgin Baylor put together a regular season for the Lakers that takes them down? Maybe Wilt Chamberlain and the boys can win the title a year early for the 76ers. Only...

Golden state is in the midst of a mini dynasty. By all measures and metrics they should be the true champion of an Elo universe NBA season in 2017, but is that the case?

A few years after the NBA and ABA merger, the league was in a new phase of competition with high flying dunkers and marquis players. Of those, the most notable was Julius Erving. This wasn't the year that Dr. J won a championship though. Could a radical time travel experiment into a bizarro dimension change the way we remember the late disco era in the NBA? Let's find out, my groovy brothers and s...

1985 was smack dab in the middle of the Lakers-Celtics historic rivalry. We all remember the hollywood hype around the Showtime Lakers and how that was contrasted against the blue collar style of the Celtics Pride. But was there more to the story? Perhaps a deeper look at the numbers suggests something different... something with antlers, lurking.
