Scottie Pippen is known for being Michael Jordan's sidekick but in reality, the two needed each other in order to create one of the greatest sports' dynasties to ever exist. Scottie's length and athletic ability made it difficult for the opposition to get in rhythm offensively and he also had the court vision and offensive talent to provide Michael Jordan with an outlet on the offensive side of the ball.
Pippen was drafted fifth overall in the 1987 NBA Draft by the Seattle Supersonics but was traded to the Chicago Bulls where he would play a total of eleven consecutive seasons earning six NBA Championships on two separate three-peats with the franchise. Scottie went on to earn NBA All-Star honors a total of seven times throughout his career alongside two Olympic gold medals as a member of the 1992 Dream Team and the 1996 US Olympic Men's Basketball team. He retired from the NBA in 2004 returning the Chicago Bulls and later played in Europe in 2008.
