It wasn’t long ago when the Washington Wizards were 10-3, and when it seemed like they could be taking over the NBA. Washington, at the time, came off an impressive improbable win over the Cavaliers at Cleveland thanks to two beautiful out-of-timeout plays by coach wes Unseld Jr. with two beautiful three-pointers by Kyle Kuzma. Their record was 10-3.
And right around that time, the Wizards announced that Tommy Sheppard and Sashi Brown were both promoted and extended.
“Their combined efforts have put us in a position to compete now with an exciting and hard-working team while also having the flexibility to execute our long-term strategy of building a championship program that is a leader in the community,” Leonsis said.
