http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/bulls.asp Bulls pick Dec. 9 vs. Lakers to retire Pippen’s jersey By Mike McGraw Daily Herald Sports Writer Posted Tuesday, September 13, 2005 The Bulls will retire Scottie Pippen’s No. 33 jersey at halftime of a Dec. 9 game against the Los Angeles Lakers. There was never much question whether Pippen’s number would someday hang from the rafters at the United Center, even after he was traded to Houston in 1999 following the Bulls’ sixth championship. Pippen’s relationship with the Bulls resumed when John Paxson took over as general manager in 2003. Paxson signed the then 37-year-old Pippen as a free agent that summer, though the return trip to Chicago didn’t work out as hoped . He played in just 23 games that season because of a chronically sore left knee and officially retired last September. The game against the Lakers was a natural choice, because former Bulls coach Phil Jackson is back with Los Angeles after a year off and will be able to attend the ceremony. The Bulls first acquired Pippen in a 1987 draft-night trade with Seattle. A fixture on the Bulls for the next 11 years, Pippen and Michael Jordan were the two players who were members of all six championship teams. Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar appeared in more NBA playoff games than Pippen, who totaled 208 during his 17 seasons. The only time Pippen’s team did not make the playoffs was his final year with the Bulls. Pippen also has the most steals in NBA playoff history, ranks 10th in playoff points scored, made the NBA’s all-defensive first team eight years in a row from 1992-99 and was a seven-time all-star. Regarded as the consummate team player, Pippen averaged 16.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists during his career, which included four seasons in Portland and one with Houston. 主要說到公牛隊將在12.9對湖人的比賽時, Pippen的球衣將要退休，懸掛在聯合中心上， （嗯，其實也還滿有意義的，畢竟現在湖人隊的教練是Phil Jackson 　不知道那天Jordan會不會也一起回來:)） 那有關Pippen的紀錄 包括像季後賽出賽的場數(208)僅次於Jabbar 而生涯中唯一沒有打進季後賽就是最後一年在公牛隊的時候XD 而季後賽的總抄截數目目前也排在第一位 季後賽總得分第十位， 從92年起也連續八個球季獲選年度最佳防守第一隊， 並參與了七次的明星賽， 總計整個生涯， 有平均每場16.1分，6.4次助攻，5.2個籃板， 另外整個生涯除了公牛隊以外， 也在拓荒者待了四個球季及火箭的一個球季。 --
