Ah, Kevin Pritchard. You know him, you love him, and after this Indiana Pacers offseason, you should recognize him as one of the best executives in the NBA. His front office wizardry has guided Indiana into a promising new era since the departure of Paul George, and he’s done it all without the allure of a coastal destination, where nearly every top free agent signed this summer.
Since it’s his birthday, I won’t skimp on his curriculum vitae — he has an NCAA championship, a six-year NBA career and a pretty darn good tenure as GM of the Portland Trailblazers under his belt.
