For one special evening, The Players’ Tribune will explore the most pivotal era in hoops history with some of the superstars who lived it: Scottie Pippen and Charles Oakley, in conversation.
The most fascinating periods in history are not eras in full bloom — they are eras in transition. And in the history of the sport of basketball, there has been no greater era of growth, influence or transition than the 1990s. Michael Jordan. Kobe Bryant. Allen Iverson. A championship-rich Eastern Conference. Rivalries. Retirement. Fashion. Politics. And when the players returned at the end of the 1998–99 NBA lockout, it wasn’t just in a brand new era — it was a brand new game altogether.
A tough defender and rebounder, and a silky smooth shooter, Scottie Pippen is considered one of the best small forwards in NBA history. He won six league championships as a member of the Chicago Bulls from 1987–88 to 1997–98, as well as two Olympic gold medals — the first as a member the original Dream Team in 1992, and the second as a member of Dream Team II in 1996. He is currently Special Advisor to Michael Reinsdorf, the President & COO of the Chicago Bulls.
