Pippen was drafted fifth overall by the Seattle SuperSonics in the 1987 NBA Draft, but was immediately traded to the Bulls. He quickly became a key member of the Bulls, forming a formidable duo with Michael Jordan. Pippen was known for his versatility, as he was capable of playing multiple positions on the court. He was a great passer, rebounder, and defender, and was also a capable scorer.
Pippen was an integral part of the Bulls' six championships in the 1990s, and was named one of the top 10 players of the decade by the NBA. He was also named one of the top 50 players of all time in 1996. After the Bulls disbanded in 1998, Pippen went on to play for the Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, and the Bulls again. He retired in 2004 after 17 seasons in the NBA.
Pippen is remembered as one of the greatest players of all time, and his legacy lives on in the NBA. He is still considered one of the best all-around players in the history of the game, and his impact on the Bulls' dynasty of the 1990s will never be forgotten.
