Scottie Pippen

It doesn't really count as a great year if the team is not doing well.

He lifted weights, he rode the bike; he kept himself going before and after games, as well as practices. He always kept himself in top shape and was very determined. You put a relentless Dennis Rodman out on the basketball court, and you better have someone there to match his energy. If you don't, it's going to be a long night.

No guy on the basketball court is a threat to score with LeBron James out there. Not only will LeBron dominate from the offensive end as well, but he's also doing it on the defensive end, which really makes him the complete package.

As a player, NBA All-Star Weekend contains a lot of joy and a lot of excitement. Even with all the hype built into the game, it's really a special honor to be selected among many great players.

I'm a family man, and I couldn't be happier. My wife and I have been blessed with an incredible family, and my kids are my life.

I always help take care of my family.

I'm proud to be considered a member of the Nike family.

I'm never going to leave my family hanging out to dry.

Everyone in my family was pretty tall, so we always thought I would get bigger.

I just like to be around family.

The key about playing internationally is the confidence that you gain. Not only do you train with some of the best players in the NBA, but you compete against some of the best players in the world.

When you endure an 82-game season, you have a great opportunity to build a lot of confidence and cohesiveness with your teammates and coaches.
