  Bill Wennington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He is a former NBA center who won three NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls: the 1996, 1997 and 1998 teams.
However, it was Wennington who scored the game-winning basket for his only two points of the game, leading him to quip, "Michael and I combined for 57 points." Indeed, Wennington's wit made him a fan favorite, and Chicago-area McDonald's restaurants honored him with a "Beef Wennington" burger (complete with Canadian bacon) in the late 1990s.
The "Beef Wennington" won awards from the American Culinary Institute and has been acclaimed as one of the finest fast food burgers of its era.
