 Cheap Seats - Washington City Paper
Right out of the gate, Washington baseball fans had a slogan of their own, just as their counterparts in the Midwest had Harry Caray’s slurred “Cubs win!” for so many years and New Yorkers long to hear stuttering John Sterling’s “Thuuuhuhuhuhuhuh Yankees win!” again.
Unlike his phrases, Slowes isn’t new to D.C. Along with his stint as the first Nationals broadcaster, his résumé includes another milestone in local sports announcing: He was the last play-by-play man for the Washington Bullets, calling games at the Capital Centre from 1986 to 1997.
Through no fault of Slowes’, those were among the leanest years in the NBA franchise’s history, back when the team loaded the roster with players with circus-type statures—midget Muggsy Bogues, skyscraper Manute Bol, lardists Kevin Duckworth and John Williams—and traded young for old and good for bad whenever the opportunities presented themselves.

His early career plans included becoming a teacher, but that thought was put on hold when he became the second overall pick in the 1968 draft by the NBA's Baltimore Bullets.
During a solid 13-year NBA career spent entirely with the Bullets organization, Unseld became a superb position rebounder and retired as the NBA's seventh all-time leading rebounder with 13,769 boards, a 14.0 per game average.
