A look back at the one they call 'Legend'

“Have you ever met anyone who said they didn’t like Phil Chenier” - Steve Buckhantz.

No.

Over the last five decades, Phil Chenier has graced Washington D.C. with his basketball prowess, first as a player and then as a broadcaster. Very few have earned the amount of respect over that time as Chenier, who may be one of the coolest cats to have ever done it.

On March 23rd, Chenier will watch his #45 be lifted to the rafters of Capital One Arena, as his jersey will hang with the greatest to ever put on a Bullets/Wizards uniform.
