The Washington Wizards owner, one of the grand old men of the NBA, died today. A great anecdote that I hadn't previously known about:
he was the person who changed the name of his team from the Bullets to the Wizards after his friend, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, was killed.
I'm surprised you hadn't come across that - we had discussed it in Echo when it happened, but I think that was the year after you graduated.
Why did you think they had changed the name before you found out about Pollin?
