Yep, in 1960 or there about, Walt Bellamy was an absolute star and all us old as hell guys know about these teams that have been bought and sold. Wes Unseld played for the Washington Bullets who were the Capital Bullets, who were the Baltimore Bullets, who were the Chicago Zephyrs, who were the Chicago Packers when Bellamy played. And finally the political Liberals were so shook up about an NBA team being named the bullets that they had to see the name changed to The Washington Wizards.

I wasn't into basketball until the late 60s. It was all 76ers, Celtics and Lakers. Bulls made the TV screen when we got cable in 65 or so.
