After 23 Years, Washington Is a Winner – The Post
Wizards Defeat Chicago in 1st Round Of the NBA Playoffs
At best, I am ambivilant about the NBA, I have been to all of three games in the 26+ years I have lived here. I am happy that D.C. has a(nother) winning team though. I am also happy to see Abe Pollin vindicated for not re-hiring Michael Jordan. Pollin’s legacy as an NBA owner is mixed, but his contributions to the greater Washington area are unquestioned. Beating da Bulls makes it sweet. Sweetest of all is that the Wiz did it without Kwame “Popeye’s” Brown, Jordan’s (the NBA’s?) biggest draft bust.

The Wizards are now the lamb to the slaughter vs. Shaq and the Heat. It looks like everyone enjoyed the victory a whole lot (fans rushed the court!), which is great because the next one might be in October.
