I recently learned that the Washington Wizards were actually founded in Chicago. Way back in 1961!
Oh that's a long time ago
It is. They actually traveled a lot as a franchise. After Chicago, they relocated to Maryland as the Baltimore Bullets. 
I didn't know that and I am from Baltimore... That's a fun fact!

The Washington Wizards are an American professional basketball team based in Washington, D.C. The Wizards compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division.

The franchise was established in 1961 as the Chicago Packers based in Chicago, Illinois, and were renamed to Chicago Zephyrs the following season. In 1963, they relocated to Baltimore, Maryland and became the Baltimore
14 games (record 3–11), the last time (as of 2019) that an NBA franchise has folded; these games and all statistics were deleted from the NBA's records.

- As a result of Baltimore having folded, the NBA schedule was redrafted so each team now played 12 games against
