Chicago Packers. Chicago Zephyrs. Baltimore Bullets. Capital Bullets. The Washington Bullets tried all of those incarnations before settling on the current name in 1974-75. The team enjoyed its only 60-win season its first year as the Washington Bullets and brought home its only NBA title after a seven-game series with Seattle in 1978. DID YOU KNOW? Bullets coach Wes Unseld is also the only player in franchise history to win the regular-season NBA Most Valuable Player Award (1968-69). The 1985-86 Bullets, buoyed by the debut of the tallest player in NBA history (7-foot-7-inch Manute Bol), set the NBA single-season blocks record (716). SCORECARD. On November 13, 1987, Washington went to the line 69 times against the Knicks and set an NBA record for most free throws (60) in a regulation NBA game.
