This is our second episode in our series going over some forgotten NBA teams throughout history. Today we take a look back at the Washington Wizards who were led by the big three of Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler during the mid 2000s. Arenas was a player ahead of his time who had deep range and could get to the basket, but unfortunately injuries and an infamous locker room incident ended any potential this team had.

The locker room stories just reminds me of a quote that basically said your team is a reflection of its leader. And given level of unseriousness Gilbert possesses, as hilarious as it may be, I'm not surprised.

They made the finals 4 times in the 70s must've been the only time in history you can enjoy being a Wizards fan.

@TheLindyHooper Год назад

Not the most important nugget to this video but it'd shed some light on why the Lakers traded for Kwame: The previous season had a gridlock at SF (Butler, Devean George, Luke Walton and Juaine Jones). They were thin on bigs. Vlade Divac played less than ten games and retired. The backup C was Brian Grant who they used the amnesty clause on leaving only Chris Mihm. The Lakers needed a big and the only properly tradable SF was Butler (Jones got traded to Charlotte for just a draft pick).

@Kalinbuggs Год назад

Aye naw the wizards owner is real af for that we need more owners like that. I’m not saying giving deals just bc but just looking out for there stars especially when you have no future anyway like lakers with Kobe in his last few years

@cjvaye99 Год назад

that Wizards squad with Gil, Jamison and Caron Butler (and also Larry Hughes in the beginning) was my favorite team to watch besides the lakers. they were so fun to watch and i think they might've even had the 2nd best offense behind only the Suns at one point.

Gilbert could have played with Elton Brand if he chose the Clippers. Which was a better team than the Wizards. Gilbert got out of the first round just one time and have the nerve to disrespect Giannis.

@myochii5726 Год назад

Gilbert Arenas was very much important to the nba. Petitioned for 2nd rounders and undrafted guys to get paid earlier than 1st round picks. Amnesty clause was also introduced cause of his massive contact from the wizard to help teams rebuild from a bad contract. Truly generational

Gold Wizard jersey was fire, you’re trippin. Almost trippin as bad as Brenden Haywood bum ass was when the wizards had an autograph signing for free and he was trying to charge fans $100 on the low and I had to explain to him that he was a bum and there’s no way anyone is paying you that. His stack of pictures was untouched.

@Tim_Dunkin 9 месяцев назад

He didn't explain what he did to his house well. Though practically everywhere is above sea level, it's not Denver type altitude. Trust that 💩 is different, the effect on oxygen intake doesn't feel like Miami beach. Credit to him bc that allowed him to log some serious minutes

@Dee-GBE 9 месяцев назад

I’m bias when it comes to this team. In a honest look back, the GM was too bad for this team to ever have real success. They drafted guys that were no help like Jared Jeffries and Jarvis Hayes when they probably should’ve made some trades to get one serious piece. They had a lot of talent but it was too many immature guys in this locker room and no real staff to keep them on task.

@bdkq1902 Год назад

Well interesting fact: Gilbert Arenas was going to be a top-10 pick in the draft, but due to his immaturity, he got sent to the 31st. One: he doesn't do the treadmill training because he doesn't want his new shoes to get dirty. Two: the NBA interviewer asked him what he would do in the future. He answered a pimp. They asked again can you say anything smarter, and he said he wants to be an international pimp. Three: he blew his money before his rookie contract. But that seemed to be a blessing in disguise for Agent Zero.

Clutch Scale 0-10 Lebron 5, Kobe 8.5, MJ 10, AI 6, Larry Bird 4.5, Magic 9. Scale is based on finals' adversities. Kobe had a bad Game 7 against Boston. Lebron against Dallas is obvious but the Heat losses look really bad to me. If you go to the Finals with MJ.....You will win every time. That's just a fact I can't deny.
