I recently learned that the Washington Wizards were actually founded in Chicago. Way back in 1961!
Oh that's a long time ago
It is. They actually traveled a lot as a franchise. After Chicago, they relocated to Maryland as the Baltimore Bullets. 
I didn't know that and I am from Baltimore... That's a fun fact!
Yes, that was in 1963, so probably before you were born. They moved to DC in 1973, but didn't switched to the Wizards name until 1997.
