Scottie Pippen

He is currently working as a basketball analyst for the Chicago Bulls. Hooters musical group, UC3, performs at a variety of sporting events, promotional appearances, and charity shows. Pippen is also famous for having pioneered the point forward position, which he popularized with his great ball-handling, passing and court vision, skills traditionally limited to point guards, in addition to his rebounding and scoring, all contributing to his dominant play for over a decade. Hooters also launched what it calls "Operation Let Freedom Wing", which involves sending its celebrities, like Hooters Calendar Girls, to visit troops overseas, including to Afghanistan. However, Pippen's effectiveness was drastically limited by injuries, and he retired prior to the 2004–05 season on October 5, 2004. Local restaurants will often select their own local charities. In the summer of 2003, new Bulls General Manager and former Pippen teammate John Paxson attempted to change the fortunes of the rebuilding Bulls by bringing Scottie back to Chicago.

Pippen was a consummate playoff performer, reaching the playoffs an amazing 16 straight years (11 with Chicago, 1 with Houston, 4 with Portland) and played in more playoff games than anyone but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Hooters has an extensive public relations campaign and has actively supported charities through its Hooters Community Endowment Fund. He was traded in the offseason to the Portland Trail Blazers, who he led to the Western Conference finals, where they lost to the eventual champion, the Los Angeles Lakers, in seven games.

Seventy percent of all customers are male, most between the ages of 25-54.

For his efforts, he earned the second of three straight All-NBA First Team nods, and he was a strong candidate for MVP. The chain sees itself this way: "Hooters characterizes itself as a neighborhood place, not a family restaurant. He had perhaps his best season, leading the Bulls in scoring, rebounding, assists, and the entire league in steals, averaging 21.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.9 steals per game. The company's management "acknowledges that many consider 'Hooters' a slang term for a portion of the female anatomy." But adds, "Hooters Girls have the same right to use their natural female sex appeal to earn a living as do supermodels Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell.". That year, he earned All-Star Game MVP honors. The chain is controversial on two counts. The 1993–94 season marked Pippen's coming out party, when he stepped out from Jordan's shadow and became known as one of the best players in the league.

The remainder of the Hooters Girl's uniform consists of glossy suntan pantyhose, white socks, and white athletic shoes.

In 1991, he continued to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with, undoubtedly the Bulls' second best offensive and defensive player after Jordan. The company also began using other colors and designs for their tops such as a camouflage theme on Monday ("Military Mondays"), black on Friday ("Formal Fridays") and the football uniforms of a local NFL team during the NFL season. Pippen continued to improve, helping the Bulls to the Conference Finals the following year as well as 1990, when he earned his first NBA All-Star Game berth. Waitresses also have a choice of shirts that are more suitable for cold weather.

Later, Hooters changed to a tight white spandex top that eliminated the knot-tying and is also less transparent when wet. Pippen immediately became part of Chicago's young forward tandem with 6'10" (2.08 m) power forward Horace Grant, though both came off the bench to back up Brad Sellers and Charles Oakley, respectively, during their rookie seasons. For years, this knot tying was a Hooters ritual before opening.
