Revisiting that Time the Washington Wizards Won the NBA Finals
Washington Wizards fans and alumni remember the 1978 NBA Finals winning team fondly, although many weren’t alive at the time. On Thursday, the 2017 NBA Finals kick off in Oakland, CA, so at Wiz of Awes we take a stroll down memory lane.
The 2017 NBA Finals start tomorrow. After a more than week-long hiatus, fans will finally get to see the hopefully thrilling third part to the Cavaliers-Warriors trilogy.
With that in mind, I wanted to revisit a time long, long ago. Back when the league had only 22 teams, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were still in college, and the Supersonics were not only in the existence, they lost to the Washington Bullets in the Finals.
