About Danny Ainge

Danny Ainge is a retired NBA shooting guard, former President of Basketball Operations for the Boston Celtics and the current CEO of the Utah Jazz. As a player, Ainge got his start at Brigham Young University, playing four seasons with the Cougars and earning multiple awards. Ainge was a four-time member of the First Team All-WAC honor, and practically won every award in his 1981 senior season, collecting the Wooden Award, NABC Player of the Year, the WAC Player of the Year, and a consensus All American. Due to his success, BYU honored Ainge by retiring his jersey number, and he left the Cougars to enter the 1981 NBA Draft. Ainge was drafted by the Boston Celtics in the second round, playing eight seasons with the team, winning two NBA championships and being named an All-Star in 1988.

After short stints with the Kings, Trail Blazers, and Suns, Ainge retired to pursue coaching in 1995, serving as the head coach for three seasons. In 2003, Ainge was named Executive Director of Basketball Operations for the Celtics. He guided the front office for nearly two decades, unafraid to make major trades and free agent signings. The pinnacle of Ainge's career came in 2008 when he was named Executive of the Year and built a roster that won Boston the NBA title.
