This season, the Washington Wizards are honoring the 40th anniversary of the 1978 Washington Bullets' championship season. March 23-25 will serve as the culmination of the celebration, presented by Chobani, with members of the 1978 championship team returning for festivities throughout the weekend (including the retirement of Phil Chenier’s #45 jersey on March 23).
Fans can purchase a specially-themed $40 ticket package, while inventory is available, for the next 40 days only that includes tickets to both games during the celebration weekend.
To commemorate the season, we're counting down 10 moments that defined the 1978 NBA Champion Washington Bullets.
"There was not one player in that locker room that didn't think we were going to win."
"Everybody looked at Philadelphia as the team to beat... We were ready to win. "
"The lights went out, and we were down, and the momentum switched. "
"We were pretty evenly matched, but we were playing our best basketball. "
"Internally, we knew if we could get to the playoffs, we had a good a shot as anyone to win it."
"We met him at Dulles Airport with a helicopter, and flew him to the parking lot at the Capital Centre."
"Those were the things that brought us together. It was about how hard we were willing to play night in and night out."
"We didn't want to see it end. We wanted to score 60."
"I remember I scored well, but I also remember that I didn't rebound well... But we won the game, that's the most important thing."
"It was special to come back as close to home as I could get to play. Washington D.C. was a very special place for me."
