Scottie Pippen Quotations

I wouldn't want to face the Bulls in the playoffs. They could be trouble.

He's a very talented player. He's got the size and the skills. There's no reason he can't do even better than what I did.

We're going to work on it, ... He wants to be good. He's always shown signs of being very talented and able to do a lot of things on a basketball court a man of his size usually can't do.

... There's no one who can explain or can get the message to you any better than a player, someone who's been through it.

Davis will give us some toughness inside and Williams has a lot of energy and enthusiasm, ... We got veteran guys who know how to play the game. I think it should make us better.

I probably should've listened to Michael a year ago when he said that Charles will never win a championship because he doesn't show any dedication.

It [would have] been very difficult. As I said, the rules ... but if the rules were put in place back when Michael Jordan was in his prime - no hand-checking, the game was more geared toward offense, wanting to promote scoring in the game - he could have probably got close. He did score 69.

We aren't playing as well as we'd like.

Michael Jordan is probably the greatest scorer to ever play in the game. But I may go as far to say Lebron James may be the the greatest player to ever play the game.

I know sometimes I need to be more like M.J., but M.J. also needs to be more like me. He needs to be the player he is with more my mentality.

I've always led by example and I'm not that vocal.

I visualize the game. I think about who I am guarding, the things he likes to do.

The mailman doesn't deliver on Sundays.

Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team.

One of the hardest things for a ball player to do is to accept his role
