Scottie Pippen

**bigboydan** · 02-16-07, 12:08 PM

No way Pippen could run with that Suns style offense. Needless to say I doubt that happening.

**Dark Horse** · 02-16-07, 12:11 PM

Suns need more depth. They need a tough guy with experience on the bench. I have no idea how fit Scotty is, but would five or ten minutes off the bench in the playoffs really be too much?

I'm thinking Pippen would only come back to play for a contender. Could be wrong. Maybe he'll settle for the Lakers.

He's too old. He's probably bored and wants another ring.

He should get into some sort of coaching role then. He's just too old for todays game for a return.

Just don't call the last play of a playoff game for a white guy.

**Dark Horse** · 02-16-07, 05:13 PM

?

The two, soon to be three, time MVP can't even dunk.

I'm referring to Pippens refusal to take the floor in game 3 of the 94 playoffs. Tie game, 2 secs left vs the knicks. Time out. Zen-master calls last shot for kuchoc- pippen as the decoy. Pippen curses Jackson out on the sidelines- refuses to go back in. TK hits last shot to win, with Pippen sitting.

That can't happen- period.

too old

no contender is gonna screw up their chemistry and pip don't wanna play for a scrub team

his last year with the bulls was a joke

stay retired

**Dark Horse** · 02-16-07, 07:40 PM

He's 41.

That would be too old, wouldn't it? lol

Maybe he's having a midlife crisis.

If he needs work, there should be a job for him in broadcasting . . .

Employ Scottie Pippen Now!

**onlooker** · 02-16-07, 10:05 PM

I just heard that on Inside the NBA. Charles said he wants what Pippen is drinking.

Then went on to say he wants to be skinny, but thats not going to happen.

He got fired from the ABC/ESPN family a while back I do believe.

Yeah, he was awful.

Tim Hardaway worked for ESPN a few years back as well. Maybe the worst analyst I've ever heard.

Right on both counts. Nice suits- painful performance.

Not easy to make the transition from the basketball court to the broadcast booth....yeah TBV, Scottie Pippen and Hardaway were horrible.

**GUNZ-05** · 02-17-07, 11:06 AM

scottie pippen's last year of playing was horrible..what makes him think he can come back years laters and be better than he was when he retired??? pippen should stay home and recreate himself on the playstation 3 basketball game!!!!!!

**bigboydan** · 03-05-07, 02:00 AM

Looks like the Lakers are seriously interested in signing Pippen. I guess we just might see a Scotty Pippen and Phil Jackson reunion soon enough.

**onlooker** · 03-05-07, 04:15 AM

Player Coach is what I was hearing.

Would he be a help to the team with Odom and Walton out? I mean, he does know the system.

Knowing the system is the only benefit in my opinion.

**dirtyjock** · 03-05-07, 09:46 AM

I couldnt agree more with what Charles said about him. He retired cause he COULDNT play. He didnt get better over the past 3 years

**tevari** · 03-05-07, 02:17 PM

I still think he could be an asset for the right team, I'm sure he could still play great D, and has a ton of playoff experience.
