You think you know…but you have no idea!
True Life of G-WIZ!

It’s a fairy! It’s a monster! It’s a funny looking furry thing! NO! Wait just a second…its G-Wiz! Many full and funky moons ago, deep down the dark streets of Washington D.C., a very special wizard was born. His parents named him G-Wiz after his great grandfather The Great Wizard of Washington, D.C.

G-Wiz wasn’t like all the other wizards. Instead of playing laser tag with his wand he wanted to master the game of basketball. He practiced everyday and begged his parents to let him attend Blue Collar State University and try out for the team. Eventually, his parents caved in and granted G-Wiz his wish. Unfortunately, there was no more room on the team roster. G-Wiz was crushed! He had dreamt about being apart of a team ever since he could remember.

After some time had passed, G-Wiz recovered from the rejection and focused on his school work. He graduated early with a PhD in Dancing, Bachelor of Science in Acrobatics and a Minor in Magic. Mamma and Pappa-Wiz were so proud of their son for all of his hard work.

In 1997, Abe Pollin built the Verizon Center two blocks down the street from where G-Wiz was living. Word spread quickly that a NBA team was moving in and that they were holding auditions for a new mascot. This job was perfect for G-Wiz! Many strange creatures showed up hoping that they would be selected. A few big names were, Willy the Wizard, Manny the Magician, Sally the Sorcerer, and even Freddie the Fairy showed his funny face. But once Irene and Abe Pollin saw G-Wiz walk in those brand spanking new arena doors they knew G-Wiz was the only mascot for the job. His passion for the game and for making people laugh was just what this team and city needed.

G-Wiz has been with the Washington Wizards since they opened the Verizon Center on December 2, 1997. Infamous for his Belly Shaking, Trick Shots and Cheering, he is a trusted and loved member of the team and community. Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler believe that G-Wiz is that special ingredient that sparks super special energy that separates them from their opponents. G-Wiz is and forever will be,
