Washington Wizards History
Founded in 1961, the Washington Wizards franchise has called Chicago, Baltimore, Landover, Maryland. and Washington, D.C. home. Known earlier as the Packers, Zephyrs and Bullets, the franchise changed its name to the Wizards in 1997.
After earning two playoff appearances in their first five seasons in Baltimore, the team started a formidable run of postseason success starting in the 1968–69 season. Led by Hall of Famers Earl Monroe and Wes Unseld (and later Elvin Hayes), the Bullets went to the playoffs 12 seasons in a row, including four trips to the Finals and a championship in 1978. Behind an MVP performance from Unseld, Washington defeated Seattle in a decisive Game 7 to clinch the title.
Five consecutive postseason appearances highlighted the Bullets’ 80s. The franchise bounced back in the early 2000s, built around the core of Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler. That trio led Washington to four straight playoff appearances from 2005–2008. Since then, the Wizards have qualified for the postseason five times behind All-Stars John Wall and Bradley Beal, the latter of which became one of six players in NBA history to average 30-plus points per game in back-to-back seasons.

The Wizards opener vs the Nets was great. The halftime was very lame. On the big opening night there should have been a spectacular halftime show. There was free candy all night in stations around the arena hallways. What a nice treat on Halloween!
The seats were great. We all enjoyed ourselves. I will definitelty purchase more tickets for the games in the near future.
The Wizards definitely looked good Saturday night. Although Butler and Jamison didn't play, Arenas, Blatch, Stevenson, McGhee and Miller kept the Wizards above water. As a matter of fact, every player contributed to the success of the Wizards Saturday night; however, I was very much impressed with Blatch. Can you believe he scored over 30 points? I knew Arenas would bring the heat, but Blatch surprised me by bringing some heat of his own. Keep up the good work. With a totally healthy team, there will be no stopping the Wizards. Now if something can be done about the Redskins. Ugh!!
I went to the game with some of my high school friends. The seating (thought near the top) still let us have a good view of all the game. I enjoyed seeing gilbert arenas.
Spent a nice Halloween evening seeing the Wizards defeating the Nets! Great moment, and lot of costumes in the Verizon center
excellent basketball, excellent palyers!!excellent basketball, excellent palyers!!excellent basketball, excellent palyers!!
it was my 1st wizards game and it was amazing. and very good
Wonderful to be able to provide an experience for children in a town without a professional team, for extremely reasonable cost. May the Wizards always feel at home in Richmond.
The basketball game was great, I love the verizon center, the facility is awesome. Just a shame the Wizards didnt win!
It was great to have an NBA game played in Richmond! I hope they do it again next year!
Great seats right behind the Wizards bench.
the team needs work..blatche needs to pass the ball and miller needs to make baskets
The game was unbelievable!! It is amazing how big and fast NBA players are. The seats we had gave us a true experience. While visiting DC to see family, I decide to take my son and father in law. The were very happy with the event!
I was unable to understand the game announcer on who scored, player introduction, etc. Fans did not know who the players are without a game roster sheet. Autria did a very good job. Glenn and Dave are who? (right before the game on the big screen)
It is the first time for me to watch NBA in the US. I had a dream to watch it ten years ago, now it comes true! Although Washington Wizards failed, the game is really exciting!
This was an amazing night. The Game itself was great, but the tickets and seats were out of this world. I couldn't have imagined that the choice of seats would be that great. If the Wizards play here again I will definitly be in attendance again!!!!!!
ALTHOUGH THE EVENT WAS A NYCE ADDITION TO THE AREA...THE GAME WASN'T AS EXCITING TO WATCH WITHOUT IVERSON! BUT IN THE END IT WAS COOL FOR EVERY ONE TO ENJOY THE EVENT.
NBA in Richmond, VA? Spectacular!
Glad I paid only $10 for the game, I would be asking for $$$ back if I paid full price. Also, the will call service was just plain unreal....spent 20 minutes in one of three lines with a few other 100s folks. I would not use will call at this location again.
excellent game....sold out....would go again if offered.
