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.
