WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Washington Wizards unveiled the bust of franchise legend and NBA Hall of Famer Wes Unseld near section 111 at Capital One Arena on Thursday.
Unseld’s wife, Connie, daughter Kim and Wizards Head Coach Wes Unseld Jr. were on hand and joined by Monumental Sports & Entertainment Founder, Chairman and CEO Ted Leonsis to pay tribute to the franchise’s greatest player. The bust, designed by sculptor J Brett Gill, is approximately 10% over life-size and is made of bronze weighing about 90 pounds.
“I do look forward to walking through these halls throughout the season to see not only the bust of my father, but to take a peek up in the rafters and see his retired jersey,” said Unseld Jr.
