Scottie Pippen will be reunited with teammate Michael Jordan when he is inducted to the Hall of Fame on Friday.

He will present his old Chicago Bulls' teammate at the ceremony - each inductee is presented by a current Hall of Famer and Jordan was inducted last year.

Pippen averaged 16.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists during an illustrious career which included six NBA titles with the Bulls.

The reunion date has set tongues wagging over whether the greatest player ever to play the game will have anything nice to say about Pippen, who he has not seen eye-to-eye with at times in the past.

Jordan caused a stir last year during his own Hall of Fame acceptance speech when he ripped into several former NBA players and colleagues.

More recently, the super-competitive Jordan even voiced his disapproval at LeBron James and his blockbuster move to the Miami Heat.
