Scottie Pippen is planning to return to the National Basketball
Association for a chance to win his seventh championship.
The 41-year-old Pippen announced in Las Vegas that he's hoping
for a late-season return to a contending team - preferably in a
warm-weather city - nearly 2 1/2 years after he left the
league.
"I know that I have the skills," Pippen said. "I think it's sort
of been on my mind the last couple of months. It's just about me
going out and polishing my skills."
Pippen hasn't played since his retirement on Oct. 5, 2004,
following a 17-season career with Chicago, Houston and Portland. He
won six titles with the Bulls, and was part of two gold
medal-winning US Olympic teams.
