The Washington Wizards arena is not alien to the name G-wiz. As the Wizards’ official mascot, G-Wiz always gets the crowd riled up at the Capital One Arena. He is a magical wizard-like creature donning a Wizards jersey, a visor, and a cape. G-Wiz has been a fan favourite since his introduction in 1997, and is known for his ability to pump up the crowd and make absurd shots during half-time.
Besides G-Wiz, the Wizards have another mascot called G-Man, who is known for creating hype and his high-flying dunks. Unlike G-Wiz, G-Man wears a pair of sunglasses, a blue muscular body suit and a headband. Together, the two have made quite an iconic pair.
