John Paxson Autographs
John Paxson is a former American Basketball player, who was born on September 29, 1960 in Dayton, Ohio. He was a standout basketball player at Archbishop Alter High School in Kettering, Ohio, where he earned a scholarship to play basketball at the University of Notre Dame. In college, Paxson was a key player on the 1979-1980 team that advanced to the NCAA Championship game against Magic Johnson's Michigan State team.
After college, Paxson was selected in the 1983 NBA Draft by the San Antonio Spurs, but he was traded to the Chicago Bulls before ever playing for the Spurs. He played for the Bulls from 1985-1994, during which he developed into one of the best three-point shooters in the NBA. During his NBA career, he played in 772 games, scored over 5,000 points and dished out over 1,700 assists. He played on three Chicago Bulls teams that won NBA championships, in 1991, 1992, and 1993.
After retiring from playing basketball, Paxson moved into management, serving as the Assistant General Manager of the Bulls from 1995-2003, and the General Manager from 2003-2009. In 2009, he became the Bulls’ Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations, a position he held until 2020. Paxson was instrumental in building the Chicago Bulls dynasty of the 1990s, which included drafting players like Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant, and hiring coaches like Phil Jackson. He remains one of the most respected figures in Chicago sports history.
