Washington Wizards Tickets

This franchise has rarely been short on star power, from Walt Bellamy to Wes Unseld to Michael Jordan.That has not translated into a slew of championships-only one, in fact, in 1978-but it has made for some interesting storylines along the way. Few teams in the NBA have undergone as many transformations as this one. The Washington Wizards tickets entered the league in 1961 as the Chicago Packers, changed their name to the Zephyrs and moved to Baltimore as the Bullets.

The Washington Wizards Tickets winningest stretch came in the 1970s, when four trips to the Finals and one title were achieved by standouts like Unseld and Elvin Hayes. Hard times followed, but fans again flocked to the team in recent seasons when Jordan decided to play his final years in a Washington Wizards Tickets uniform.
