The 2019 NBA program was fast approaching when Magellan staff and guests were treated to a special “chalk talk” Lunch and Learn featuring members of the Chicago Bulls front office staff. John Paxson, Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations, and General Manager Gar Forman, stopped by to participate in a hoops-related discussion moderated by the Bulls’ legendary radio play-by-play announcer Chuck Swirsky.

And what a conversation it was! The two Bulls executives shared insights into their approach to talent evaluation and drafting players, discussed the current state of the team, their prospects for on court success, and shined some light on some of the Bulls’ long term strategic plans.

John Paxon, point guard during the Bulls' three-peat glory days in the 1990s fielded questions from attendees, along with Gar Forman.

The presentation provided an interesting behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of a professional basketball team and left everyone with a renewed excitement for the Chicago Bulls.
