The Washington Wizards shined in the 70s, but since then, the farthest they have gone is reaching the Eastern Conference semifinals and having Michael Jordan on their roster for two seasons. Before that, they didn't achieve much, only making it past one round of playoffs. They started as the Chicago Packers, then changed to Zephyrs, before moving to Baltimore and becoming the Bullets. After a year as the Capitals, they moved to the capital of the United States, and since 1997 we have known them by their current name.
In that 70s decade, some of the franchise's best players were there. The frontcourt duo of Elvin Hayes and Wes Unseld dominated the league, well supported by Phil Chenier. Since then, they have had players like Gilbert Arenas, Bernard King, Jeff Malone, Antawn Jamison, and Juwan Howard. In more recent times, the standout duo has been in the backcourt, with John Wall and Bradely Beal. The player who spent the most time with them was Otto Porter Jr.
