The Washington Wizards are a good basketball team. But, how many of your non-basketball fan friends know the team even exists?
The lack of coverage has hurt the Wizards. Prior to last season, it was tough to envision John Wall on the NBA All-Star team. Players like Damian Lillard and Kyrie Irving, both of whom aren’t better than Wall, got a lot more coverage than the East’s best point guard.
Before Paul Pierce joined the team, Washington rarely got any television time.
