The Chicago Bulls’ all-time player, Scottie Pippen left the franchise after his sixth championship back in 1998. Prior to his last championship run, Scottie Pippen married his second wife, Larsa Pippen. At the time, Pippen and the Bulls were determined to contend for the title one last time. Following his sixth championship, Pippen signed with the Houston Rockets for one season. He then signed with the Blazers the following year, playing four seasons for the franchise. To bid his farewell, Pippen joined the Bulls one last time in 2003.
Playing for the Bulls for 11 straight seasons, Pippen was heavily underpaid. Scottie was considered to be the best player behind Michael Jordan. Though his cuts did not tell the same tale. Pippen made around $22.2 million during his first stint with the Bulls, which was a total of 11 seasons. In the next seven seasons, Pippen earned just about four times more than he had made with all his previous Bulls contracts combined. The large pay was then accompanied by his retirement plan. His ex-wife, Larsa Pippen is set to be benefited from the same plan.
