Bill Wennington
Bill Wennington (born December 26 1963 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada) is a former NBA center who won three championships with the Chicago Bulls on their 1996, 1997 and 1998 teams. He was also a member of the Canadian Olympic Basketball Team in 1984 and 1992, has been inducted into the Quebec Basketball Hall of Fame, and is a nominee for induction into the Canadian Basketball Hall of Fame in 2005.
Very early in Michael Jordan's comeback, Jordan scored 55 points in his return to Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks. But it was Wennington who scored the game-winning basket for his only two points of the game, leading him to quip, "Michael and I combined for 57 points."
He attended St. John's University in New York, playing on one NCAA Final Four team under legendary St. John's Redmen basketball coach: Lou Carnesecca.
He authored the book "Tales From The Bulls Hardwood".
