Weird to see the Washington Bullets banner. :eek:

That was a l-o-n-g time ago.

Fun fact - Why was the name abruptly changed from one (the bullets) that carried an NBA World Championship to the Wizards? And why change the patriotic color scheme of red white and blue to white blue and bronze?

When did the Bullets change their name? In 1973, after moving to Landover, Maryland, they played a season as the Capital Bullets, and in 1974 they became the Washington Bullets, a name they kept until 1995, when owner Abe Pollin renamed the team the Washington Wizards because of the violent overtones of the word bullets.

On November 4, 1995, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, and close friend of then Wizards owner Abe Pollin, was assassinated at a Tel Aviv peace rally. Four days after his funeral, Pollin made the announcement that his team would no longer go by the name "Bullets," after 32 years of sporting the moniker. "My friend was shot in the back by bullets,” Pollin said. “The name ‘Bullets’ is no longer appropriate for a sports team.”

Evina has great chance, coach Noelle Quinn really likes her and she likes UConn players.
CW also has great chance since Washington needs her.
Liv is not sure But I wish she can make the roaster.

The Storm as an organization likes UConn players… I hope Wash. needs CW because they drafted her; and let’s not send Liv to the roaster before she has a chance to show her wings!

‘Seattle Huskies’: Former UConn women’s basketball players embracing shared connection on the Storm

Sitting alongside fellow former UConn women’s basketball players Sue Bird and Evina Westbrook on Tuesday, Breanna Stewart jokingly pegged the WNBA’s Storm as the “Seattle Huskies.…

“I think that she’s a player that can obviously affect the game on both ends,” Stewart said. “She’s smart, she’s kind of been through it all on and off the court and just gives us a new presence that we need. And there is a UConn connection because no matter if we play together or not it’s a family, and just wanting to continue to help her along in this process as she helps us.”

“We do all kind of have the same background, that pedigree, and we always look out for each other,” Bird said. “So I think it’s a great spot for (Westbrook) to come into a place that has other UConn players. And the program, I know they haven’t won in a couple years, but one thing they do is get people ready for the WNBA.”
