Scottie Pippen

I'd probably say the championships mean more to me, but the gold medal makes you a bit different. It's a special award.

Some guys get into the NBA, get the big money, and are satisfied with themselves.

I make a lot of money, but I need to be treated right.

I don't believe being a Hall of Famer is based on individual accolades. I think winning has a lot to do with it. But perhaps more than that, you simply have to show that you are the best or among the best at what you do.

Being the youngest of twelve kids and having your underwear handed down teaches you how to share.

I'll miss the competitive side and the camaraderie of being around the players and competing each and every day.

To have a beautiful house on the outside is one thing... Once you get inside, that's what really makes a home.

As a young player, achieving All-Star status isn't as easy as you might think.

At the point when I lost my father, it really made me want to be like a father and be like my father. It was a real turning point for me because it helped me mature - it made me think about being responsible because I wasn't the only one I had to think about.

I loved playing against the Pacers and Reggie Miller. Reggie was a great competitor, and I enjoyed playing against competitors.

Coach Dyer was a great mentor for me and a great teacher.

Defensive awards and accolades aside, to have your jersey retired puts you in a position where you'll be known forever.
