What die hard fan of Washington basketball wouldn’t want to see the name changed back to the Washington Bullets?
Fans over at Wizards Extreme posted a thread, including a petition, to try and change the garner votes to help try and get t...

So Andray Blatche is playing in a "party people's" summer league catered to those who love the partying lifestyle: the nightclubs, the bars, the "lapdance Tuesdays".

"I remember when we drafted KG [in 1995], we said to him his first year, we played him as a small forward and I told him you're going to be an All-Pro player as a power forward...
