Scottie Pippen’s Trailblazers Warm-Up: A Testament to Basketball Excellence

A Legendary Career

Scottie Pippen, a name synonymous with defensive prowess and basketball excellence, is celebrated as one of the greatest defenders of his era. His illustrious career is adorned with accolades, including being named to the NBA All-Defensive Team eight times and the All-NBA First Team three times. Pippen’s versatility and skill were further recognized with seven NBA All-Star selections and the prestigious NBA All-Star Game MVP award in 1994. His legacy was immortalized when he was named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History during the 1996–97 NBA season.

Trailblazers Warm-Up: A Piece of History

During his remarkable seventeen-year career, Pippen graced the courts for twelve seasons with the Chicago Bulls, one with the Houston Rockets, and four with the Portland Trailblazers. His consistent excellence led him to the postseason sixteen consecutive times, a feat surpassed only by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Robert Horry in terms of playoff appearances.

The warm-up jacket and pants from his time with the Trailblazers are a testament to his enduring legacy. Inside the back of the collar of the jacket is the “NIKE” manufacturer’s size “3XL” tag, with the player number “33” inscribed in ballpoint pen. The left breast proudly displays the “TRAILBLAZERS” logo patch, while the right sleeve features the official “NBA” logo patch accompanied by the embroidered Nike logo. Across the back, “BLAZERS” is emblazoned in black on red tackle twill.
