Since its golden period of the late 1970s, marked by a championship title won in 1978 (Bullets era), Washington has only had two occurrences with at least four straight 50% winning seasons.
The most recent, between 2014 and 2018, dates back to the John Wall – Bradley Beal years. The oldest, between 2005 and 2008, goes back to the years Gilbert Arenas – Antawn Jamison – Caron Butlereven if the latter only arrived from the 2005/2006 season.
