Scottie Is Getting a Statue. Love That.

CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bulls will unveil a statue of Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen that will be displayed in the United Center at some point during the season. "Not only is Scottie Pippen one of the greatest players to ever wear a Bulls uniform, but he's among the best players in the history of the league to play the game," Bulls chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said in a statement. "He had a tremendous impact in bringing six world championships to Chicago and there is no better way to pay tribute to him than with a permanent statue that honors his inspirational career." Pippen was elected to the Hall of Fame on Aug. 13. He won six NBA titles with the Bulls, was named one of the 50 greatest NBA players and made seven All-Star teams.

Don't need to tell me Scottie Pippen deserves a statue. I was always a big fan of #33. Dude was money in his day and was probably the best player in the league after MJ retired for the first time.  Just your typical point-forward who can do it all. You want rebounds? OK. Want me to average 22 and 9 for my career and be fine with playing second fiddle? You got it. Wanna give me a bronze statue next to Michael? Uhh I fucking expect it.
