Bulls to unveil bronze bust of Pippen

The Chicago Bulls plan to unveil a bronze bust of Scottie Pippen during halftime of a game against the Boston Celtics next month.

The team said Thursday that a ceremony to honor the Hall of Famer would include a video tribute and a speech by Pippen on April 7. The Bulls will permanently display the bust at the United Center.

The bust was made by the same artists who crafted the Michael Jordan statue that is outside the arena. Jordan and Pippen led the Bulls to six championships.
