Scottie Pippen

Born September 25, 1965, Pippen spent 17 seasons in the NBA and became the defensive backbone of the Chicago Bulls dynasty that won six championships in the 1990s. Named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team eight straight times and a seven-time All-Star, he ran the floor like a point guard in a forward's body - named one of the 50 Greatest Players in 1997 and to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team in 2021. He won Olympic gold with the 1992 Dream Team and again in 1996, one of only two players to take both an NBA title and Olympic gold in the same year twice. After twelve seasons in Chicago, he played one year in Houston and four in Portland, making the postseason sixteen consecutive times. The Bulls retired his number 33 in 2005; he was inducted into the Hall of Fame twice in 2010, once for his career and once as part of the Dream Team.
