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 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 players and made seven All-Star
teams.
"Words really can't express my feelings," Pippen
told the Bulls' website. "It's an unbelievable honor and truly amazing.
It's something you dream of as a kid growing up, but you can never
foresee those childhood fantasies becoming reality. You see statues of
individuals who have done great things and made their mark on history,
but as a basketball player, you never really think about arriving at
this point. It's an amazing honor for the Chicago Bulls to do this for
me."
Omri and Julie Rotblatt-Amrany of Highland Park, Ill., will craft Pippen's statue. They also sculpted the famous Michael Jordan statue which was unveiled in January 1994 as part of Jordan's No. 23 jersey retirement.
Pippen returned to the Bulls in July as a team ambassador.

i want this framed in my game room
The Bulls are expected to hire assistant coach this week, according to sources. Musselman and Porter remain on Chicago's short list
not going to get my hopes up.
