So when are Horace Grant and Rodman getting theirs? And when does the Toyota Center version come out? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/basketball/nba/08/26/pippen.statue.ap/index.html
what? this sounds like the headline to an onion article. it should be a statue w/ pippen on his knees infront of mj.
if pippen would have pulled a grant hill like he did with tmac, how many rings do you think jordan has? hard to say
With Pippen just getting injured and the Bulls never bringing in a player to replace him? I don't think the Bulls would have won any championships.
He deserves it. He may be a villain here in Houston but he is the opposite in Chicago. The Rockets and Houstonians are not paying a dime for the statue so deal with it.
Rumor is that the statue won't have nose though, because the engineers can't guarantee that the statue won't tip over due to the excessive front loaded weight. That said, it becomes a tribute to both Scottie and Michael........Michael Jackson that is.
i would not say that about the Bulls Pippen. He was a great player back then, and argueably a top 3 small forward in the game at the time. In fact it is arguable that he is a top 10 small forward of all time. That is something. He play a vital part in the bulls championships. I wouldn't say he is as important as jordan, but damn close. post bulls pippen = 5h1t
I heard it was an exact replica of him staying on the bench, when the Bulls gave Kukoc the last shot to win the game.
I'm probably going to Chicago this winter to visit my son (who's in Madison, Wisconsin... it's complicated). Does anyone think the statue will be finished by then? The security schedule? I want to pee on it. I just hope his face is where I can reach it.
im old enough to have witnessed the entire jordan era - im well aware of pippens contribution. and "argueably a top 3 small forward at the time" - way to go out on a limb there...NOT! he was w/out argument the best small forward at the time and arguably a top 5 player in the league during the bulls run. but i still have no idea why they would put a statue of the guy up.
Worst player to have a statue? Scottie Quitten is a punk, and a quitter. Hopefully many birds **** on his statue...
