Chicago Bulls: Shawn Kemp for Scottie Pippen, the Trade That Never Happened. By Mike B. , Correspondent Nov 25, 2011. Back in 1987, the Seattle SuperSonics selected Scottie Pippen with the fifth overall pick in the NBA draft. However, the forward from Central Arkansas wouldn't last long with the Sonics, as he was dealt to the Chicago Bulls for fellow top 10 pick Olden Polynice.
During his 17-year career, he played 12 seasons with the Bulls, one with the Houston Rockets and four with the Portland Trail Blazers, making the postseason sixteen straight times. Pippen is also the only player to have won an NBA title and Olympic gold medal in the same year twice (1992, 1996). He was a part of the 1992 U.S. Olympic Dream Team which beat its opponents by an average of 44 points.
