Bullets Forever, a Washington Wizards community

Yea, remember that Doug Overton guy? Starting in the '92-'93 season, the La Salle product spent the first three years of his career with the Bullets, when, coincidentally, two of his top three PER seasons occurred. Overton was traded to the Denver Nuggets in '95, along with Don MacLean, for Robert Pack to compensate for the Mark Price injury. He teetered around the league all the way up to the '03-'04 season. But back to Overton taking no mess, here's an excerpt from NJ.com: Assistant coach Doug Overton exploded at rookie Chris Douglas-Roberts, shouting at him and getting up in his face before Frank came over to get in the middle of the two men. It happened in full view of reporters, who had just been let in to see the final few minutes of practice. It wasn't evident what got Overton so angry.

True Hoop is doing a little Hoops Quiz series by showing pictures from the late August Legends of Basketball meetings in Puerto Rico and getting people to guess to subjects. So, do you recognize this guy, this guy, or one of these guys?

Okay, so no one was actually chomping at the bit to remember Kevin Duckworth. Alas, I couldn't resist.....the memories of the big fella and his time with the Bullets weren't anything to write home about, but they were something to write a blog entry about. So here's to the Duck, one of the many curiosities of our franchise's past, may he rest in peace.

Over the weekend, I came across an old Tom Knott article clipping.....not three years ago, he was declaring that bad karma for the Wizards/Bullets had been purged. Is this the case for the franchise we know today?
