That's the question Ted Leonsis is asking fans (and potential fans) of the Washington Wizards.
On his blog today, Leonsis does a bit of recruiting (sales and marketing) of his own to help fill the seats at Verizon Center for future Wizards home games.
With seats not exactly filled to capacity for the team's home opener against Philly last Tuesday, Leonsis tells readers to get in on the new Wizards/John Wall era stock now (while the gettin's good).
Leonsis even promises to Dougie if a home game sells out. (We know you wanna see that).
From Ted's Blog
Remember when I preached that the Washington Capitals were like a growth stock? Get in early like you did on AOL, Google and Microsoft stock? Now we are totally sold out with a waiting list. Bad times became good times. The people that believed were rewarded.
I am here to tell you that about the Washington Wizards. Buy your tickets now, please. Sign up for season tickets. Get in early and own your seats. We will continue to invest in the team and improve the team. We will have star power. We will have an arc of growth. Get in early. See our own home grown and developed stars grow up before your very eyes.
"Sorry, I had to get up on a soap box", Leonsis continues.
We need your help. We play this Saturday night. We need and want you to be in attendance. The team plays better in front of a sold out building. Come support the team. Off of soap box now.
End Leonsis soap box rant.

After losing the first two games of the season, the Wizards won an impressive 116-115 season home opener against Philadelphia last Saturday that saw 1stRDP John Wall yield 20 points, 13 assists, and 9 steals.
With just three NBA games under his belt, and at least 20 points and 10 assists in a home debut, Wall joins the NBA's elite players (Isiah Thomas, Oscar Robertson, and Norm Nixon)
Trivia: Did you know Norm was married to actress/choreographer Debbie Allen, the sister of Cosby Show actress Phylicia RaShad Allen?
Wall's stock looks good. Real good.
Cartier Martin's (another Kansas standout now in the DC area. Skins' Brandon Banks is the other) three-pointer sent the game into a thrilling overtime at 106-106 (that would have normally seen the Wizards unsuccessful).
Gilbert Arenas continues to be hampered by injuries (knee/ankle) and is a game-to-game decision, for now.
The team takes on The Knicks Friday in New York, and meets the Cavaliers at home on Saturday night.
Don't you want to come out and see for yourself?
**Note to Ted: I'm still awaiting my press credential you said you'd look into.**
