Scottie Pippen Basketball HOF Forward

Scottie Pippen, a name synonymous with elegance and versatility on the basketball court, carved a remarkable career in the NBA spanning 17 seasons (1987-2004). While his legacy may forever be intertwined with that of Michael Jordan and the iconic Chicago Bulls dynasty of the 1990s, Pippen's individual brilliance and well-rounded skillset solidify his place as one of the greatest small forwards of all time.

-Scottie Pippen: The Rightful Hand of a Dynasty

Drafted by the Seattle SuperSonics and later traded to the Chicago Bulls, Pippen's early years were spent honing his talents alongside the rising star, Michael Jordan. Their complementary styles, Jordan's offensive dominance paired with Pippen's defensive prowess and playmaking abilities, proved to be a match made in basketball heaven. Together, they led the Bulls to six NBA championships (1991-1993, 1996-1998), establishing themselves as one of the most dominant teams in NBA history.

-Impact Player

Pippen's impact went far beyond his championship rings. A seven-time All-Star and ten-time All-Defensive selection, he was a defensive stalwart, capable of shutting down the league's best scorers. His offensive repertoire was equally impressive, showcasing his ability to score, rebound, and orchestrate the offense with exceptional court vision.

While Jordan's scoring prowess often took center stage, Pippen's well-rounded contributions were undeniable. He was the ultimate supporting actor, elevating the games of those around him and leaving an indelible mark on the sport.

-Legacy of the Star

Beyond his accolades and championships, Pippen is remembered for his grace on the court, his ability to anticipate plays, and his clutch performances in high-pressure situations. He is a true legend of the game, forever etched in the annals of NBA history.

Born September 25, 1965, in Hamburg, Arkansas, was Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Forward Scottie Pippen. The legend was on six NBA Championship Chicago Bulls teams and was a seven-time NBA All Star along with being the NBA All Star Game MVP 1994. Pippen also was on the 1992 US Olympic Gold winning teams of 1992, 96.
