These are the top ten reasons to love and hate John Paxson.
Top Five Reasons to Love John Paxson
5. He played for Notre Dame
Whatever...WE ARE ND!
4. The hiring Scott Skiles
For a few years Skiles seemed to be able to get the most out of a bunch of good players. They played hard for Skiles and played balls out on both sides of the ball, which is hard to find in the NBA these days.

3. He broke up the mess Jerry Krause made

2. The way he tried to rebuild the Bulls
So it didn’t workout in the end, but Pax had a plan and his original philosophy of building a rock solid defense-first team was the right idea and hiring Scott Skiles was the right choice for that philosophy. It looked like it was working until Skiles lost control.

1. The shot he drilled in the 1993 NBA Finals to beat the Suns
Can you say clutch. After Jordan forced a double, he kicked it out to Pax who hit the biggest shot of his career, topping off the bulls first three-peat.

Top Five Reasons to Hate John Paxson
5. His middle name is MacBeth

4. He was born in Ohio
After going to school in Ohio, I completely hate everything that has anything to do with that state. We get it you like the Buckeyes. I’m sorry your “professional” teams are a joke and all of your “cities” don’t even add up to half of Chicago. Just please stop taking it out on the rest of us.

3. He signed Ben Wallace
A defensive force and leader is what Pax saw in this specialist. What he should have seen was an aging one-dimensional liability. You can’t trust anyone with a massive fro…I knew that in the third grade.

2. He didn’t sign Mike D’Antoni
Now I can’t completely blame Pax for this because he doesn’t control the money, but part of his job is to convince the brass to pony up the cash to get a proven winner and franchise changing coach.

1. He didn’t trade for KOBE BRYANT!
LONG SIGH. How can you not trade for the best player in the league for a couple of solid role players? It makes me feel O.K. about myself for loosing interest in the Bulls after Jordan. Pax, I know for a fact Bryant is your favorite player in the NBA. Why didn’t you just pull the trigger and get the deal done? Instead of looking for a new coach, you would be basking in round two of the playoffs now. This sucks.

Great list Z-dubs. Some of your best work. I heard Tremendous Upside Potential ripped Pax a new one today.
Would you really like to see Kobe "The Rapist" Bryant on the Bulls???!! Heck no, not me. That guy is scum and I'm glad we don't have it.
He might be scum, but he would lead the Bulls at least this far into the playoffs in the weak ass east...no doubt about that...Jordan was a notorious womanizer, you wanna give back those six trophies?
