Podcasts about criblez

Adam Criblez, the author of "Kings of the Garden," takes us on a trip down memory lane as he talks about the Knicks in the 1970s and how it compares to today's era. We dive into why the New York Knicks are still one of the most beloved teams in sports, even with their ups and downs. Criblez's book looks at the team's glory days, including their championship wins in 1970 and 1973, and how their story is tied to the heart of New York City. This chat highlights the Knicks' rich history and the loyal fanbase that has stuck with them through thick and thin. Hoopsology is presented by Ballislife.

In Kings of the Garden: The New York Knicks and Their City (Three Hills, 2024), Adam J. Criblez traces the fall and rise of the New York Knicks between the 1973, the year they won their last NBA championship, and 1985, when the organization drafted Patrick Ewing and gave their fans hope after a decade of frustrations. During these years, the teams led by Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe, Bob McAdoo, Spencer Haywood, and Bernard King never achieved tremendous on-court success, and their struggles mirrored those facing New York City over the same span. In the mid-seventies, as the Knicks lost more games than they won and played before smaller and smaller crowds, the city they represented was on the brink of bankruptcy, while urban disinvestment, growing income inequality, and street gangs created a feeling of urban despair. Kings of the Garden details how the Knicks' fortunes and those of New York City were inextricably linked. As the team's Black superstars enjoyed national fame, Black musicians, DJs, and B-boys in the South Bronx were creating a new culture expression―hip-hop―that like the NBA would become a global phenomenon. Criblez's fascinating account of the era shows that even though the team's efforts to build a dynasty ultimately failed, the Knicks, like the city they played in, scrappily and spectacularly symbolized all that was right―and wrong―with the NBA and the nation during this turbulent, creative, and momentous time. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book, The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All was published in 2020.

“This episode the stars of Stand-Up Memories have as their guest their long-time good friend, the terrific Long Island journalist David J. Criblez. Among the topics, they of course toss around the more and more prominent factor of political correctness of today's comedy.”   As they delve into the realm of political correctness, for some unknown reason Jackie thinks he can chime in. The inter-show insults are more fun than ever, even mid-compliment, and the conversation goes to totally unexpected places, insuring this episode will draw you in .. especially when Background Muppet Bales takes the reins ..   Lots of GREAT stories!

Jeff Morton conducted a phone interview with Adam J. Criblez, author of Tall Tales & Short Shorts: Dr. J, Pistol Pete and the birth of the modern NBA. A fascinating book about the evolution of 1960's, Celtics dominated basketball to the modern, guard slashing game. As with the Dan Issel interview, this was recorded off of a phone conversation. Cleaned up as much as possible for your enjoyment. This is a fantastic book that everyone should read. It's available on Amazon. Here is the direct link to the book: https://www.amazon.com/Tall-Tales-Short-Shorts-Popular/dp/144227767X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518906419&sr=8-1&keywords=tall+tales+and+short+shorts

Today we are joined by Adam J. Criblez, author of the book Tall Tales and Short Shorts: Dr. J, Pistol Pete, and The Birth of the Modern NBA (Rowman & Littlefield, 2017). In his second book, Criblez tells the story of the most maligned decade of professional basketball the 1970s. Tall Tales and Short Shorts takes the reader from the retirement of Bill Russell in 1969, which ended the great dynasty of the Boston Celtics, to the emergence of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird in the late 1970s. During the 1970s, professional basketball dealt with expansion, the merger of the National Basketball Association and the American Basketball Association, illicit drug use, violence on the court and rising player salaries. The 1970s were a turbulent period in American history, as the Vietnam War ended ingloriously, Richard Nixon’s presidency was destroyed by the Watergate scandal, and the price of gasoline soared while public confidence waned. Basketball in the 1970s would be defined by stars such as Julius Erving, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Pete Maravich and Rick Barry; Criblez shines new light on the “Dark Ages” of the NBA, blending pro basketball with popular culture. Bob D’Angelo is working on his masters degree in history at Southern New Hampshire University. He earned his bachelors degree in journalism from the University of Florida and spent more than three decades as a sportswriter and sports copy editor, including 28 years on the sports copy desk at The Tampa (Fla.) Tribune. He can be reached at bdangelo57@gmail.com. For more information, visit Bob D’Angelos Books and Blogs. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
