Named the 20th head coach in St. John’s basketball history, Chris
Mullin returned to his alma mater on April 1, 2015 after previously
serving as a special advisor for the Sacramento Kings and general
manager of the Golden State Warriors. Mullin is a two-time Olympic
Gold medalist and a two-time Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of
Fame inductee (in 2010 as a member of the 1992 United States men’s
Olympic basketball team (“The Dream Team”), and in 2011 for his
individual career).
Mullin enjoyed a decorated 16-year NBA career playing for the Golden
State Warriors and Indiana Pacers from 1985-2001. Selected by the
Warriors with the seventh-overall pick in the 1985 NBA Draft, Mullin scored nearly 18,000 points
in his career earning All-NBA honors four times and five NBA All-Star selections.
He played with the Warriors from 1985–86 until the 1996–97 season. Thereafter, Chris played
with the Indiana Pacers from 1997 until the 1999–2000 season. He retired after the 2000–01
season, playing for his original team, the Warriors, and became the sixth player in franchise
history to have his jersey number retired.
The most-decorated player in program history, Mullin is St. John’s all-time scoring leader with
2,440 points, starring at the University from 1981-85 under Hall of Fame Head Coach Lou
Carnesecca. Mullin led St. John’s to four-straight NCAA Tournaments, including a run to the 1985
Final Four. He is the only player in conference history to be named BIG EAST Player of the Year
three times (1983-85).
Before going into television sales, he worked in the banking industry where his
positions included the handling of institutional sales, fixed income, foreign
exchange and bond funds.
Jim was born in Bayside, New York and attended St. John’s University where he
received both his B.A. in Finance and an M.B.A. in International Finance. He is a
second generation Irish-American with roots in Cork and Kerry.
Jim currently lives in Manhasset with his son.
