As I grew older, it wasn't just to be in the NBA. The dream was to be successful in the NBA.
I was one of the best players in the NBA.
I just wanted to get to the NBA. I never thought I would have a career that I've had now.
I want to do the best I can in the NBA. After three or four years, I want people to know who Scottie Pippen is.
You never think that you're going to be in the NBA but be an All-Star as well.
I was never able to be a part of U.S.A. Basketball in high school or college. So for me, it's a privilege.
I've done did a lot of things in the NBA, made a lot of stuff, so I'm happy with what I've done.
Just being in the NBA is crazy and also after every bucket that I make or every pass it's kind of like, 'Woah, I just did that.' It's been awesome.
Getting to the NBA really helped me personally on a lot of levels. I liked it so much that I wanted to stay there.
If you want to know who Zaza Pachulia is and you don't know, talk to any of my teammates. Teammates, coaches, I played over 1,000 games.
Since I've been in the NBA, I've showed what I can do on the court.
It's the Basketball Hall of Fame, not the NBA Hall of Fame. So, for basketball, I played in Olympics; I played in the Junior Olympics. With what I've done and given to basketball is all Hall of Fame.
