I somewhat understand why the Wizards website chose the retirement of Earl the Pearl to be the number 1 moment. 20 years from now we won’t remember that we beat Boston three/four times or DeShawn Stevenson hit a game winning three. We’ll remember that Earl Monroe is a retired number.

That being said, I felt as though Caron Butler out performing LeBron and hitting the game winning shot in Game 5 was the #1 moment of the season.

Or more appropriately, top ten posts/comments…?

From today’s LiveOnline:
Washington, D.C.: The official Wizards Web site has been counting down the top 10 moments from the season. What are the top 10 moments - or at least, top three - for you guys? Alternatively, what were the two or three stories that each of you were especially proud of?

Ivan Carter: Butler’s dunk on Kevin Martin was No. 1. Nick Young’s dunk on LeBron was No. 2. Caron’s game-winner in the playoffs is 3 following by Stevenson’s game winner in New Orleans. At five, give me the win at Boston. At six, I’ll take Haywood’s classic response to LeBron James being a crybaby. At 7, I’ll take the dunk Andres Nocioni threw down over Oleksiy Pecherov. When Chicago’s game operations folks put a picture of Stewey from Family Guy over Pecherov’s face on the replay, I lost it.
At 8, I’ll go with the game itself and Butler’s 40-point performace in Milwaukee on Jan. 27 (just an incredible game to see live). At 9, I’ll go with two games in Miami when I got to watch the Heat dancers perform from only a few feet away. (The Miami Heat dancers: where amazing happens). And at 10, give me the Nov. 2 game in Boston when Kevin Garnett and the new-look Celtics made their first regular season appearance. Just a great atmosphere.
