Just as prestigious as any all star team, here’s my all former Wizards team. You may ask why do this when the Wizards look so good this season? One look at this team and you’ll see that the Wiz could’ve looked good for a number of seasons, had the right tools been in place at the right times.
That, and it’s a pretty slow Washington sports news day.
First Team
G- Steve Blake - Former feel good pick out of Maryland for the Wiz, Steve Blake was a huge sign for the now upstart Portland Trail Blazers. Is averaging 7.2 and 5 assists per game and has started 23 of 26 for the league’s hottest team.
G - Richard Hamilton - One of several former Bullets/Wizards on the Eastern Conference titan Detroit Pistons, Rip is second on the team in scoring this season at 17.8 and is one of the league’s best perimeter defenders.
F - Jerry Stackhouse - A key reserve player for the Dallas Mavericks, was their prime time shooter in the Mavericks NBA Finals appearance two years ago.
F - Rasheed Wallace - Although he still has the same lame personality that got kicked out of DC, is the heart and soul of the Pistons team. When he’s not getting kicked out of the game.
C - Ben Wallace - Glimpses of dominance were apparent when Big Ben was in Washington, but then and now, the Wiz firmly believe that defense doesn’t win championships.
Second Team-
G- Larry Hughes - Although often injured, Hughes was a presence on D and could get to the basket.
G - Juan Dixon - Proved to be a firestarter off the bench; was another Maryland championship team transplant.
F - Juwan Howard - Taught DC the true meaning of shin splints.
F - Chris Webber - Did help take Washington to the playoffs and a sweeping by Michael Jordan and the Bulls, but if it wasn’t for that, Jordan might not ever have come to Washington.
C - Kwame Brown - Might be the biggest draft bust in NBA history, but Kwame will always have a place in DC’s heart.
