When the game is over, it's over. We leave everything on the court.

If you're not on a team that's winning, it takes a lot out of you as a player.

If I could have written a script of how I wanted my career to be, I couldn't have done it any better.

When I was four or five, I had an older brother who got paralyzed from the neck down in junior high school. Some kid did a wrestling fall on him and hit his spine. We had to take care of him. I went from being the baby to not really being the baby anymore.

I think I learned a lot from a lot of experiences that I dealt with over my career.

I'm a guy who is easy to get along with, and I'll put up with a lot of things. But not dishonesty.

Fans are demanding. They want to win. They want it now. If you have an injury, they want you back the next day.

I thought the lanes opened up when Michael Jordan used to drive. I used to be like, 'Wow.'

I just like to be around family.

As a young player, I always thought I was doing everything I could. But the longer you play, the more you learn, and the better you're prepared for what this game throws at you.

It's always been a passion of mine to come out and share some of my knowledge about basketball and the experiences I've had with the younger generation.

I never wanted to be Michael Jordan, although I would like to trade bank accounts.

I want to thank the NBA and U.S.A. Basketball. Words can't describe my feeling. I was a small town kid from Hamburg, Arkansas, and you provided me a platform to live out my passion, the game of basketball, on the world's grandest stage.

When I grew up, I was just another kid who wasn't going to college.

I want to get into the NBA and make a name for myself.

Don't disrespect me, lie about it, and then come smile in my face and act like nothing's wrong.

I want to do the best I can in the NBA. After three or four years, I want people to know who Scottie Pippen is.

It's an honor to have kids. It's a responsibility.

I can be 60 years old, but I can always go back and play like I once did by just playing a video game. It's really great.

Playing with Michael Jordan would be a great opportunity for me. I would have someone around I could learn a lot from. I look up to him as a player and as a person, and that would make me a better player and person.
