The resolution recognizes Scottie Pippen, a prominent athlete from Arkansas and a National Basketball Association (NBA) star, for his significant achievements and contributions to his community, the state of Arkansas, and the world. Born in Hamburg, Arkansas, Pippen faced challenges early in his basketball career, including a lack of college recruitment. However, he excelled at the University of Central Arkansas, where he developed his skills and helped lead the team to conference championships. Pippen was later drafted by the Chicago Bulls, where he became an integral part of the team, winning six NBA championships and earning numerous accolades, including seven All-Star selections and induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Beyond his athletic accomplishments, Pippen has made a lasting impact through his community involvement, including hosting basketball camps for children in Arkansas and serving as a senior advisor for the Chicago Bulls. His jersey has been retired by both the University of Central Arkansas and the Chicago Bulls, and he continues to inspire future generations through his legacy. The resolution concludes with a formal recognition of Pippen's contributions and a commitment to present him with a copy of the resolution.
