Washington Generals Figures vary as to exactly how often the Generals have beaten their rivals. Some reports say six,[20] while the team's official website reports having three victories over the Globetrotters, one each in 1954, 1958, and 1971.[21] The 1971 win is the most storied of these, and is sometimes reported as the team's sole victory.[2]
Washington Wizards In November 1995, owner Abe Pollin announced he was changing the team's nickname,[13] because Bullets had acquired violent overtones that had made him increasingly uncomfortable over the years, particularly given the high homicide and crime rate in the early 1990s in Washington, D.C. It was widely believed to also be related to the assassination of Pollin's longtime friend, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.[14]
