Basketball Wizardry With Washington Wizards Tickets
If you have Washington Wizards tickets then you have tickets to see a team that has been there and back in the world of basketball. Through a slew of name changes, victories and failures, the Wizards have always spun a web of magic that has held fans and basketball lovers enthralled.
The Washington Wizards are currently based in Washington D.C. and they play their home games at the Verizon Center. The team plays as a part of the National Basketball Association and is also a part of the Southeast Division and the Eastern Conference. The Wizards have won one championship title, seven division titles, and four conference wins.
What’s My Name Again?
The Wizards were born in 1961 and had a rather unstable beginning, shifting from locality, to name a number of times, before settling on the Washington Wizards in 1997. Prior to that, the team was the Chicago Packers, Chicago Zephyrs, Baltimore Bullets, Capital Bullets and the Washington Bullets. On the courts, the team did rather well in its early years, pulling in a truly momentous season in 1977-1978. This was mainly due to the fact that the team was a long shot chance to win and the famous phrase “The opera ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings!” became the war cry used by the coach to rally the team to victory.
Following this, the team became plagued by injured players and those who were nearing the retirement. The team naturally slipped into a period of poor performances and continued to play very mediocre basketball, for about ten years. The team was finally renamed for the last time in 1997 and fans hoped to see some improvement in the game.
Scandal and The Comeback Kids
The initial reaction to the name Wizards was of nervous hesitation, as it brought up associations with the grand wizards of the Klu Klux Klan. However, fans soon began lining up for Washington Wizards tickets, mainly because in 2001, Michael Jordan joined the team as its president. Sale of Washington Wizards tickets took another jump when Jordan decided to come out of retirement and play for the Wizards as well. In order to play, he gave up his minority ownership responsibilities and helped the team on the court. However, much to the shock of the team and fans alike, Jordan was then fired, due to bad trades and draft choices. Though the Wizards never made the playoffs during that time, Jordan’s presence packed the stadiums and sales of Washington Wizards tickets were at an all time high.
Despite this crushing blow, the Wizards were able to make a comeback of sorts, pulling together to ensure that they delivered a tight game each and every time. This happened despite the fact that the player roster became rather depleted over time- nevertheless, the Wizards managed to play well and pull in the same kind of crowds they did when Jordan was around. Loyal fans and basketball enthusiasts alike are all waiting with bated breath to see how the Wizards will weave their magic- don’t miss your chance to watch it happen live.
