Sorry but I just do not follow the Mystics....

I really did not think the last two would ever happen. I am so happy to be wrong.

Now if I could only find a Bullets Championship pennant, I will have all 4 first win pennants. It is a hard thing to come by.

Does Bullets Fever still happen to you every year?

The Hayes Unseld teams really were fun.

The Opera is OVER!!!! The Fat Lady Sang! I wore that shirt until it was threadbare. Good times!!!!!!

Now, it is more enjoyable to watch Maryland basketball. What passes for pro ball today is just not basketball. Damn, I am old......

EEEEEEEEE! Oh yeah!

And don't forget KP. He made us short people think we could play too.

Fear the turtle.
I loved Dandridge, memories of course get distorted but I recall him outplaying Erving in the semis the year they won, especially in the fourth quarters.

I struck up a friendship with Dandridge some years ago. He played his college basketball and now lives in Norfolk, my home town. He told me that the Bullets acquired him specifically to guard Erving because we always had trouble with Philly in the playoffs. A terrific guy and well deserving of the HOF.
