My Take
Bill Wennington is my kind of athlete: the dependable role player on a dynasty. A towering seven-footer from Montreal, he won three NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls during their second three-peat, doing the unglamorous work alongside legends. He also represented Canada at the 1984 Olympics and earned a spot in the Quebec Sports Hall of Fame. I have always thought championship teams are built as much on professionals like Wennington as on their superstars. He knew his role, embraced it, and earned rings doing it. That quiet competence is something I respect far more than highlight reels.
