Bill Cartwright

Bill Cartwright is the kind of player I admire more the longer I think about it. Standing 7-foot-1, he anchored the Chicago Bulls' first three-peat as a defensive, unglamorous center beside Michael Jordan. In an era obsessed with scoring highlights, doing the thankless interior work for a champion is its own art. Sixteen NBA seasons demand durability and discipline most stars never need. That he later moved into coaching tells me he understood the game from every angle. I value contributors like him, the steady professionals whose worth never shows up in a highlight reel but always shows up in the standings.
