A former Blazers star looked to late owner Paul Allen for inspiration.
Former Portland Trail Blazers star forward Scottie Pippen experienced some of the highest moments in NBA history. He was part of two different three-peats while a member of the Chicago Bulls and is one of the best players to ever step onto an NBA court.
Allen had something that Pippen wanted and that was being a billionaire. Pippen was underpaid while with the Bulls to keep the main core together and he wanted to have a financial legacy off the court after he was done playing. He wanted to know how Allen did it and used his being on the team to learn.The inspiration of Allen was about unique because it helped to set off a new role model in Pippen's life.
the seven-time All-Star added. "Like, win a championship, and then I can say, 'Tell me how I can make a billion dollars. Tell me how I can become a billionaire.'"
