As another point of reference, Tatyana Ovechkina (Alex Ovechkin's mother) won a gold medal for the USSR women's basketball team more recently (1980 in Moscow; she also won gold in 1976 in Montreal) than the Bullets/Wizards have won a NBA Final.

Understood they still have one in the bank. No doubt they’d have to make major changes to their roster to get another one including changing two - if not all - of their starting front court. And since were pointing out name changes and lengths of time. The Redskins too have not won a championship since the Native American Indian groups first took them to court over their name. That’d be 26 years. Edited June 13, 2018 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time you're going to shift the conversation that abruptly, make sure to push down on the topic clutch pedal a lot more than you just did. I don't think I've ever said they should keep the name. It's not worth the headache. The Redskins have also won three championships since the Wizards won their only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t the first to bring up that another team hadn’t won a championship in this town for decades and isn’t close. I think it’s a fairly easy observation to be made that there is a curse, hopefully the Caps just exercised the demons for all DC sports. Although, by the judge of the Nats current season and the continued injury bug, I’m not so sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get one championship per sport every 40 years it seems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really just will take one trade but it remains to be seen if Ernie can get that deal done. Most likely he’ll stand pat instead of making a trade for a big or a few like we had talked about before by trading with Indy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree that they're one big away from contention (making the playoffs and dying in the second round is not really contending). Ernie cannot get that deal done.
