Washington Wizards Tickets

Renamed the Washington Wizards in 1997, the team has been a consistently above average NBA squad, which is no small feat given how competitive the league is. Washington has seen some wildly entertaining players on their roster over the years, as the team looks to add to its trophy case, while sporting some incredibly unique history.

Perhaps the most unexpected piece of Washington Wizards history was the fact that the Wizards were the team with which Michael Jordan finished his career. After Jordan spent so much of his time in the NBA with the Chicago Bulls, Jordan decided to come back to basketball after retiring for the second time. That time, the Bulls didn't take him back, and he went to Washington to wind down his career.

Since then, though, the Wizards have enjoyed a sustained run of success from 2004 until the late 2010s. The team relied on Gilbert Arenas, the enigmatic scoring machine, to bring them to the playoffs for several seasons before they reset things and brought in John Wall and Bradley Beal. Wall and Beal during their time with the Wizards have been described as a great modern guard combo, as Wall is great at getting to the rim, where he can set up the sharp shooting Beal for opportunities behind the three point line.

As far as rivalries go, the Wizards had a strong rivalry going with the Cleveland Cavaliers during the Arenas era. Arenas' brash, scorer's mentality was the perfect foil for LeBron James' unselfish star ethos. The two made perfect competitors because of those differences, with playoff games between the two teams often going down to the wire and often seeing those two players taking the final shots in those close contests. With James being a young player during these meetings, the matchups with Arenas could have prepared him for future battles in crunch time.

During that time, if the team's performance puts them high enough in the standings, they are able to participate in the playoffs, which take place from April to June. With the NBA Finals in June, every team hopes to be playing that late into the season.
