John Paxson

John Paxson is the kind of figure I deeply admire: a player whose value lived in substance rather than flash. Out of Dayton and Notre Dame, he won three titles with the Bulls as a steady role player among superstars, then spent decades shaping the franchise from the front office as general manager and head of basketball operations. I respect people who can contribute on the court and the ledger alike. He built foundations for winning instead of grabbing headlines, and that quiet, organization-first commitment is exactly the sort of professionalism I find myself rooting for.
