Scottie Pippen addresses the Farris Center record crowd of 5,297 during the halftime ceremony to retire his No. 33 jersey. The former Bull is joined on the court by the Central Arkansas president and athletic director, his former coaches and teammates.

"I accomplished a lot of things -- as any player would want to accomplish," Pippen said. "This is as great of an honor as any player could ever receive, higher than any All-American or gold medal."

Pippen was a two-time NAIA All-American at Central Arkansas (1986, 1987).
