9 stars who played for the Washington Wizards after their prime

Dave Bing was a legend in the 60s and 70s that saw his career slow with the Washington Wizards

Following nearly a decade of excellence with the Detroit Pistons, Hall of Fame point guard Dave Bing returned to his hometown to play for the Washington Bullets. While there, he saw his numbers decline across the board.

He went from being a no-brainer for the All-Star team and consistently scoring 20+ points and 6-8 assists per game to averaging only 13.7 points, 5.3 assists, and 1.2 steals per game in two seasons for the Bullets.

He is one of the many forgotten stars of the era as players like Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar reign supreme. Even at his own position, Bob Cousy, John Havlicek, and Walt Frazier dominated during his career. Unfortunately, that leaves him as the odd man out when remembering this era of basketball.

Many of the players that the Washington Wizards signed after their prime was over lasted only a handful of games and at most, they lasted three seasons as was the case for Mitch Richmond. If the Wizards can get a star to play their entire prime in DC, they may be able to put together a nice postseason run.
