1950–51 Baltimore Bullets season

Walt Budko (10–19)

The 1950–51 Baltimore Bullets season was the Bullets' 4th season in the NBA and seventh overall season of existence. One lesser known aspect involved with this season related to the Bullets involved the fact that they won a game that was failed to be rigged by NBA referee Sol Levy on November 15, 1950 against the Philadelphia Warriors, who later was arrested as an accomplice in the CCNY point-shaving scandal of 1951 following five more attempts at rigging NBA games with mixed results. This season was also notable for having the first official NBA player to be permanently banned from the NBA by the end of the season, as rookie Norm Mager would end up being caught as a part of the aforementioned CCNY point-shaving scandal while he was playing for the Bullets out in Baltimore during this season. One other lesser known fact about this season is that the Bullets were the very last NBA team to ever lose to the Washington Capitols before they ended up folding operations on January 9, 1951; following a 83–71 victory Baltimore had against Washington in their home arena on New Year's Day of 1951, the Bullets would end up losing against the Capitols in Washington 92–82 two days later on January 3, officially marking their tenth win of the season and the final victory the Washington Capitols franchise would ever have in the NBA.
