In a press conference following his Hall of Fame induction, Pippen had a few words to say about Jeff Van Gundy and his prediction.

"I don't want to elaborate on what Jeff Van Gundy said," Pippen said. "Who is he to say that they're going to break the record? He coached a number of years in this league and he hasn't been able to break it. Let's wait and see."

"Those guys' biggest goal is to win a championship and not try to win 72 games. But if Jeff Van Gundy wants to take a bet, I would bet him that they won't break it. You can put a lot of great players together, but it's about building chemistry. There have been a lot of great teams put together. But that doesn't really seal the deal." 

Pippen was also asked who he thought was the team to beat in the East and he said, "I think that Boston is still the best team in the East. Miami has to prove themselves."
