Zitat des Tages von Scottie Pippen:
I never wanted to be Michael Jordan, although I would like to trade bank accounts.
It's an honor to have kids. It's a responsibility.
I thought the lanes opened up when Michael Jordan used to drive. I used to be like, 'Wow.'
When you look at Jerry Sloan teams, they're all very disciplined. They execute well. They play within themselves.
I take a lot of pride in my first '92 gold medal.
I love this city and the Chicago fans.
I'm a guy who is easy to get along with, and I'll put up with a lot of things. But not dishonesty.
It doesn't really count as a great year if the team is not doing well.
There's nothing like the camaraderie of being around the other players.
When you suffer a few losses in the playoffs, it forces you back into the gym early on.
I wouldn't give Charles Barkley an apology at gunpoint. He can never expect an apology from me... If anything, he owes me an apology for coming to play with his sorry, fat butt.
To be named as one of the finalists for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame's Class of 2010 on Friday was a special moment for me. As a player, it's something that you dream about. It's an honor that you have to earn based on your career and the respect from your peers around you.
It's definitely tough to get up and walk away from something you have been a part of for so long. But it's part of life.
Defense is something I take a lot of pride in.
Statistics are one thing. But if you're not putting up the numbers as far as winning, they're not going to consider you for things like the MVP.
The influence of a high school coach can be so powerful.
When I say I played with the greatest, let's not forget I also played for the greatest coach of all time.
You continue to compete against the very best every day, and you will get better, or you'll be embarrassed.
Each season was different and presented its own set of circumstances and challenges.
Chicago's where I started my career. I've had a lot of success playing here.
I can be 60 years old, but I can always go back and play like I once did by just playing a video game. It's really great.
If you're not on a team that's winning, it takes a lot out of you as a player.
As a young player, achieving All-Star status isn't as easy as you might think.
I was lucky to play with guys who were not only good players, but great people.
Basketball is a lifelong game. You continue to learn from the game day in and day out, and all along the way, you get better.
I'd probably say the championships mean more to me, but the gold medal makes you a bit different. It's a special award.
When it's late in a game and things are tough and you need a basket, someone has to step up. That player has to have the ability to create opportunities and draw fouls.
Basketball is such an escape from a lot of things.
It's not always about getting better on the basketball court. This game teaches you how to become a better person as well. It pushes you into the team concept.
The All-Star Game was one of my top highlights as a player. In my eye, it gave me a good idea of where I ranked among my peers. That was always my benchmark to say that I am still in the upper echelon of players.
I just like to be around family.
I'm never going to leave my family hanging out to dry.
Everyone in my family was pretty tall, so we always thought I would get bigger.
To be in a position where an organization like the Bulls creates a bust of you that will permanently be displayed in a building like the United Center says it all. It's hard to put into words because it is such an honor. It's great to know that something like that will be around forever.
Your job, what you do every day, I think it takes a high priority over anything. That was something I dedicated myself to throughout my career.
As a young player, I always thought I was doing everything I could. But the longer you play, the more you learn, and the better you're prepared for what this game throws at you.
