16. Scottie Pippen
You would be able to build the tallest of snowmen with Scottie on your side.

This would be a great opportunity to hear some legendary stories from the guy your mom never wanted you to emulate, as well as the man your father encouraged you to emulate.
In case you have been hiding under a rock for the last couple of years, Ditka is just awesome. Can't you just hear him barking out plays on how to build the perfect snowman in the wondrous accent? (insert discount daaaable check reference here)
Okay, I'll be honest, I really have no idea about boxing. I mean, I get the basic aspects, but mostly I just think its cool! Manny Pacquiao has always just seemed really cool to me; you wouldn't end up with the tallest of snowmen, but I bet it could take a punch or two.
Magic spends a decent amount of time in the media these days and he always seems to have a smile on his face. You have got to love that. He would bring a positive element to any snowman-building experience, and maybe he would lift you up to the basket so you can make a dunk after? One can always dream.
Here is another guy that just seems to be happy all the time, as well as one of the guys you would turn to if you were going for height with your snowman. Of course, the song "How I Beat Shaq" will be booming from your music device on repeat, and he will love it and even sing along -- I'm sure of it.
I don't know about you, but I can spend hours watching any commercial with Griffin in it. He is just hilarious. Commercials don't sell it for you? Check out his social media profiles -- you will be sold for sure. Griffin would bring a classic jokester element of fun to the snowman-building experience that I guarantee would end with a snowball fight.
Let's face it, Phelps is an American Hero, what with all the gold he has brought back from his Olympic appearances. He is more closely akin to a fish, but think of all the fun you could have while building a snowman! As an added bonus, maybe you could talk him into bringing along free Subway!
Watching Bradshaw on NFL Sunday is enough to sell me. He always has something funny to say, and maybe he would be gracious enough to help you tweak your fantasy football lineups. Let's face it, we could all use the free advice.
Here again is another epic sports commentator who would be great company on a snowy day. This picture alone is evidence that Barkley is always up to something silly in nature. I would ask him to leave the horse at home, though.
Okay, Shaun White is a winter sports legend and is capable of pulling off groundbreaking and innovative tricks out on a half pipe. I can only assume that because he makes his living in the snow, snowman-building skills come naturally in the package. I would recommend bringing your A game in building in order to have the greatest chance at scoring free lift passes.
Because who wouldn't want to spend the day making a snowman with one of the greatest hockey players of all time? Hockey fan or not, there is a good chance you had a poster of Gretzky on your wall at some point.
I mean, it's Larry Bird. The man is a legend. The man is just simply awesome. Hopefully by the end of the day, your friendship will be solidified and he will tell you to call him Larry. Admit it, the prospect excites you.
Tony Hawk was the mastermind behind the best video games with the best soundtracks. He also made a guest appearance on the animated show Rocket Power that admittedly, changed my life. He is seriously one cool guy, and he is a dad, which means he will have all the greatest hacks for snowman building. Afterwards, you can see just how great he is at Tony Hawk Underground.
Okay, I guess this is a very biased decision, but these guys are all great. Like a few other athletes that have been mentioned, they make their living out on the ice. Imagine the snowball fight that would ensue when Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane refuse to compromise on what the snowman's eyes should be made out of? Being the gracious souls they are, they would of course bring along the Stanley Cup, and your life (well I guess mine) would be complete.
Who wouldn't want to build a snowman with the greatest basketball player of all time? The cool thing about snowman building with Jordan is that you can always bet on who's will be better. Maybe, some of his awesome will rub off on you and you will be able to make a dunk like at the end of Space Jam.
