About Washington Wizards
With such hits as "I?m Your Boogie Man," "Dancing Queen," and "Stayin? Alive," disco was the music of choice for most Americans in 1978, but for Washingtonians and their Washington Bullets, it was the 1978 NBA Championship that provided sweet music to their ears.
The Washington Wizards began as the Chicago Packers in 1961, spent several seasons in Baltimore, and finally landed in Washington, as the Washington Bullets, in 1974.
After achieving only moderate success for a decade, the Bullets developed into a solid unit in the 1970s, built around rugged center Wes Unseld and talented scorer and rebounder Elvin Hayes. Washington made it to the NBA Finals four times during the 1970s and defeated the Seattle SuperSonics for the NBA championship in 1977-78.
The Bullets were a model of consistency through the '80s, establishing an NBA record by winning at least 35 games in each of 22 consecutive years, from 1967-68 through 1988-89. A seven-year postseason drought ended in 1996-97 when the Bullets advanced to the playoffs, losing a hard-fought series to the Chicago Bulls. The final game of that series, a 96-95 loss on April 30, 1997, marked the end of an era.
On May 15, the team officially became known as the Washington Wizards, a decision made by owner Abe Pollin in conjunction with the team's anti-violence campaign. At the same time, the Wizards prepared for a move from suburban Landover, Maryland, to the MCI Center in downtown Washington.

At the beginning of the 1960s the NBA was an eight-team league coping with growing pains. The Washington Wizards were launching their dynasty, the Lakers had just moved from Minneapolis to Los Angeles, and stars such as Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, and Bill Russell were bringing a higher profile to the pro game.
NBA owners decided to initiate the first expansion since the league's inception in 1949, and after paying an entry fee of $500,000 the Packers were admitted in 1961.
The 2002-03 season would be the final goodbye for one of the NBA's greatest players as Michael Jordan finished out his historic 15 year career as a Wizard.
In his final season in the NBA, Jordan was the only Washington player to play in all 82 games, starting in 67 of them. He averaged 20 points, 6.1 rebounds 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game in his final year while shooting 45 percent from the field and 82 percent from the free throw line.
Even at 40, Jordan still amazed the fans that he had entertained for the last decade and a half. Throughout the season, Jordan scored 20 or more points 42 times, scored 30 or more points nine times and tallied 40 or more points three times. He grabbed 10 or more rebounds 12 times, recorded 13 double-doubles, led the Washington Wizards in scoring 36 times, rebounding 16 times, assists 25 times, steals 32 times and blocks 13 times and clinched his position as the NBA's all-time points per game leader (30.12) at Miami on March 11, 2003.
