The Wizard (12-49) missed his fourth straight season and the sixth NBA playoff in seven years.

Richardson spent two years in college at DePaul.
He recalled that after his freshman year he made his insurance policy for injuries to be about $10 million. That's not like receiving real money so that today's stars can.
