Book Danny Ainge
Danny Ainge is a rare two-sport professional and one of basketball's most decorated executives, currently serving as CEO of the Utah Jazz. A high school All-American in football, basketball and baseball, he starred at BYU, where he was honored as the country's top college player, collecting the 1981 John R. Wooden Award, highlighted by a famous coast-to-coast game-winner against Notre Dame in that year's NCAA tournament. While still in college he also played parts of three Major League Baseball seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays. Drafted by the Boston Celtics in 1981, he spent 14 NBA seasons with Boston, Portland, Sacramento and Phoenix, winning two championships as a player and appearing in the 1988 All-Star Game. After coaching the Suns, he returned to Boston and ran the Celtics' basketball operations from 2003 to 2021, adding a title as an executive and earning 2008 NBA Executive of the Year. He was inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame in 1999. Ainge offers sharp insight on competition, team-building and bold decision-making.
