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.
Crazy they moved around so much. i wonder if that is normal
That's a great question. Do you follow any other teams in the National Basketball Association(NBA)? Eastern Conference Southeast Division or otherwise?
