The team had a "miracle" season in 1977-78, when they secured a run to the playoffs that made it all the way to the Finals. This defeat of the Seattle Supersonics would bring the first pro-sports championship to Washington D.C. in 36 years.

The franchise did not make it to the playoffs for nearly a decade after the 1987-88 season. With a name change from the Bullets to the Wizards in 1995, the team began a decline. Chris Webber was a strong force in scoring and rebounding. In 2001, Michael Jordan came out of retirement to join the team and gave them an 18-win improvement though he was injured for much of the first year. Jordan had been part-owner and team president as well, until the majority owner removed him from both positions.

In 2004-05 the team saw their greatest regular season in 26 years, 45-27, making the playoffs for the first time as the Wizards.
