Learn More About the Wizards:
Believe it or not, what you might think to be the staid and boring capital city of the United States is actually home to lots of people who proudly wear Washington Wizards jerseys and shout their lungs out at every game. The Washington Wizards were first known as the Washington Bullets, and even earlier than that were known as the Chicago Packers. The Packers were formed in 1961, the first modern expansion team under the NBA. After a year, the Packers changed their name and began to be known as the Chicago Zephyrs. In 1963, the franchise moved into Maryland and made their home at Baltimore, taking on the name of Baltimore Bullets.
The team moved to Washington D.C. soon enough, and after two more name changes, became the Wizards of today. It doesn't take a Wizard to know, though, that Washington D.C. is truly a great tourist destination, whether you're after the politics or the history. You can take a tour through the many museums of the Smithsonian institute, where you can gaze upon gems, look at animals and plants, and take a tour through history as you look at all sorts of paintings and memorabilia from different wars. You can simply walk around the Mall and look at various buildings that house U.S. lawmakers. There are many places to go in Washington D.C., so be sure to check them out before you start watching your favorite Wizards work their magic.
