Pippen, Longley and Grant won three championships together with the Bulls in the 1990’s and they are ready to pull the curtain back on some of the most amazing stories and memories with the world-beating Bulls – arguably one of the greatest teams ever assembled on a basketball court.
Pippen, a Hall Of Famer, has a long list of accolades, including being named in the NBA top 50 & 75 players of all-time, a 7-time NBA All-Star, 3-time All-NBA first team member, 8-time NBA All-Defensive first team member and 2-time Olympic Gold Medal winner (1992 and 1996).
Scottie returns to Australia after launching the NBL season in September as the League’s official ambassador.
He was pretty impressed with the caliber of basketball that he saw.
“I knew the game was gonna be competitive… I knew that the players can play, and they have the fan support here,” Pippen said. “The NBL is really growing and developing, and I think the awareness all around the world is being heard.”
Grant was key to Chicago’s success during their championship in 1991-1993. He was named an NBA All-Star in 1994 as a member of the Orlando Magic, made the All-Defensive Second Team four times, and added a fourth title in 2001 with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Longley is an Australian basketball legend and three-time NBA champion with the Bulls and paved the way for Australians to the NBA. His presence on the defensive end and strong passing ability were vital to Chicago’s second three-peat from 1996-1998.
The‘NO BULL’ tour will hosted by actor and entertainer, Shane Jacobson and will present Aussie basketball fans a once in a lifetime opportunity to get unprecedented access to what it was like playing with Michael Jordan, being coached by mastermind Phil Jackson, the adversity faced during the championship years and much more.
