The plan is that Pippen, a six-time NBA champion and now 41 years old, would play in ToPo in December or January.

"We are discussing details now, such as when and in which matches he will play," ToPo's general manager Aleksi Valavuori said.

"He would be the best player ever to have played in Europe."

He declined to reveal how much Pippen would be paid for the two matches, but said it it was not a six-figure amount in euros.

Dennis Rodman, another former Chicago Bulls player, played one game for ToPo in 2005.
