Timeline

1957

James William Cartwright (born July 30, 1957) is an American former professional basketball player and a former head coach of the Chicago Bulls of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

James William Cartwright was born to James and Marie Cartwright on July 30, 1957 in Lodi, California.

In high school, Cartwright played basketball for the Elk Grove Thundering Herd under coach Dan Risley.

1973

With Cartwright on the squad, the team went undefeated in the 1973-1974 season and was named the best high school basketball team in California in both 1974 and 1975.

1974

In 1974 and 1975, Cartwright was named California High School State Basketball Player of the Year.

1975

In 1975, Elk Grove won the NorCal Tournament of Champions.

In 1975, he was named California High School Sports Athlete of the Year.

As a prep star, Cartwright was just as highly regarded as fellow preps Darryl Dawkins and Bill Willoughby.

Cartwright graduated from Elk Grove High School in 1975.

1977

Cartwright played college basketball at the University of San Francisco and was a consensus second-team all-American in 1977 and 1979.

During his time at USF, Cartwright played on one of the tallest starting lineups in collegiate history.

He graduated as the all-time leading scorer for the Dons, averaging 19.1 points and 10.2 rebounds per game.

Cartwright led San Francisco to three trips to the NCAA tournament, to the first round in the 1977 and to the Sweet Sixteen in both 1978 and 1979.

1979

Cartwright was the third overall pick in the 1979 NBA draft selected by the New York Knicks, making his only career All-Star Game appearance in his first season.

1984

He averaged more than 20 points per game in his first two seasons for the Knicks, but after playing no fewer than 77 games in his first five seasons, a series of foot injuries caused him to miss the entire 1984–1985 season.

1985

Following that season, the Knicks drafted center Patrick Ewing with the number-one overall pick in the 1985 NBA draft.

However, ongoing foot problems limited Cartwright to only two appearances during the 1985–1986 season.

1986

When Cartwright returned for the 1986–1987 season, he and Ewing would often start and play together but during the 1987–1988 season Cartwright was relegated to the bench.

The Bulls were willing to part with Oakley, the league's second-leading rebounder in the 1986–87 and 1987–88 seasons, because of their need for a center and the rapid development of power forward Horace Grant.

1988

On June 15, 1988, Cartwright was traded, along with two draft picks, to the Chicago Bulls for forward Charles Oakley and two draft picks.

1991

A 7'1" (2.16 m) center, he played 16 seasons for the New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls and Seattle SuperSonics, helping the Bulls capture consecutive championships in the 1991, 1992 and 1993 seasons. He attended Elk Grove High School in Elk Grove, California, and played college basketball at the University of San Francisco.

Cartwright was the Bulls' starting center during their string of three consecutive NBA championships in 1991, 1992 and 1993.

1992

1994

The Bulls, who were without Michael Jordan the following season following his retirement, made the 1994 NBA playoffs but were eliminated in a controversial game 7 in the Eastern Conference semifinals by the Knicks.

Cartwright departed the team thereafter as an unrestricted free agent.

Cartwright left the Bulls as a free agent and signed with the Seattle SuperSonics.

He only played in 29 games for the Sonics, and retired after the 1994–95 NBA season.

1996

A year after his retirement, Cartwright joined the Bulls once again as an assistant coach under Phil Jackson ahead of the 1996–97 NBA season.

1997

He was a member of the championship-winning teams in 1997 and 1998.

The Bulls went through significant changes following the 1997–98 season, with not only Jordan and Pippen leaving, but Tim Floyd taking over as head coach from Jackson.

2001

The Bulls had a lengthy rebuilding effort, and Cartwright took over the Bulls 27 games into the 2001–02 season, going 17–38 after the team's 4–23 start under Floyd and interim head coach Bill Berry, the latter whom coached for two games before Cartwright was named interim head coach.

The Bulls finished 21–61 on the year and the following season Cartwright was promoted from interim to permanent head coach.

2002

In the 2002–03 season the Bulls finished 30–52, but Cartwright would last only 14 games into the 2003–04 season — going 4–10 — before being fired.

After the Suns dismissed Porter and promoted assistant Alvin Gentry, Cartwright stayed on as assistant coach with the team.
