John Paxson
He played on three NBA Championship teams with the Chicago Bulls
Before his NBA career, Paxson was a standout player at the University of Notre Dame, where he earned All-American honors. His leadership and basketball IQ were evident early on, and these qualities carried over into his professional career. Known for his steady hand and ability to perform under pressure, Paxson was a reliable presence on the court, particularly in high-stakes situations. His contributions to the Bulls' dynasty, alongside legends like Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, solidified his place in basketball history.
After retiring as a player, Paxson transitioned into a successful career in basketball management. He joined the Chicago Bulls' front office, serving as the team's general manager from 2003 to 2009. During his tenure, Paxson was responsible for overseeing key roster decisions and helping to rebuild the team in the post-Jordan era. In 2009, he was promoted to vice president of basketball operations, a role he held until 2020. His leadership in the front office was instrumental in shaping the Bulls' future, and he remains a respected figure in the organization.
Paxson's legacy in basketball extends beyond his playing days, as he has continued to influence the game through his work in management and player development. His deep understanding of the sport, combined with his experience as both a player and executive, has made him a valuable asset to the Chicago Bulls organization for nearly two decades. His contributions to the game, both on and off the court, have left an indelible mark on the NBA.
