The Washington metro area has always supported its professional
sports teams, from the Redskins to the Capitals, from the Senators
to the Nationals. The nation's capital has also been home to a rich
basketball tradition that began more than 80 years ago with a
start-up league in the 1920s and continues today with the
Washington Wizards. The city was a charter member of the NBA, and
under Hall of Fame coach and general manager Red Auerbach the team
reached the finals once in the first three years. Renowned players
such as Wes Unseld, Chris Webber, and even Michael Jordan have all
played for a Washington, DC area team. In The Bullets, the Wizards,
and Washington, DC, Basketball, Brett L. Abrams and Raphael Mazzone
chronicle the area's history of professional basketball, from the
sport's origins as a regional game up through the present day as a
multi-billion dollar business. This book captures the high and low
times of the Bullets, the Wizards, and all the other basketball
teams in Washington's history.The authors meticulously researched
newspaper and magazine articles, as well as archival material from
the Basketball Hall of Fame, to give a complete and comprehensive
history of the DC teams. Their findings illuminate the owners,
players, and rivalries, while also providing insight into the
events, trades, and most significant games that occurred throughout
the history of professional basketball in the DC area. A
fascinating look at the history of professional basketball in our
nation's capital, The Bullets, the Wizards, and Washington, DC,
Basketball will appeal to all fans of the sport.
