#wizards above .500 for 1st time since Oct. 31, 2009. If I'm not mistaken, that's 1,556 days. That's a mighty long time.

Pop the bottles! Go streaking! Do whatever you want, cause it’s finally happened! To some, your basketball team being above .500 isn’t a “big deal”, but to others, it’s been since 2009. Can you even remember 2009? Did we even have internet in 2009? Maybe we did, but who knows. It was likely dial up and you had to tell your friend brb when your mom needed to make a phone call. Probably then went and fed your tamagotchi. That’s how long ago it feels since the Wizards were above .500. This was the boxscore from that game:

11 boards for Mike Miller. Not bad bro! and 30 for Blatche off the bench. With performances like that, who woulda known that Gilbert was taking shits in his shoes?

According the DC Sports Bog, here’s the list of players who have played for the Wiz in that time:

Morris Almond, Gilbert Arenas, Trevor Ariza, Hilton Armstrong, Earl Barron, Bradley Beal, Mike Bibby, Andray Blatche, Trevor Booker, Earl Boykins, Caron Butler, Jason Collins, Brian Cook, Jordan Crawford, Paul Davis, Maurice Evans, Randy Foye, Alonzo Gee, Marcin Gortat, Al Harrington, Mike Harris, Brendan Haywood, Nene Hilario, Kirk Hinrich, Josh Howard, Lester Hudson, Cedric Jackson, Mike James, Antawn Jamison, Othyus Jeffers, Yi Jianlian, Rashard Lewis, Shaun Livingston, Shelvin Mack, Cartier Martin, Roger Mason, Eric Maynor, JaVale McGee, Dominic McGuire, Mike Miller, Hamady N’Dyie, Fabricio Oberto, Emeka Okafor, Larry Owens, Jannero Pargo, Otto Porter, A.J. Price, Glen Rice Jr., Quinton Ross, Kevin Seraphin, Mustafa Shakur, Chris Singleton, James Singleton, DeShawn Stevenson, Garrett Temple, Al Thornton, Ronny Turiaf, Edwin Ubiles, Jan Vesely, John Wall, Martell Webster, and Nick Young.
