Anyone know why Scottie pippen quitt playing basketball?
are you serious????
umm....he's too old....he's lost his skills.....too many injuries......no teams want him.....already has 6 rings......
He wanted to have more time for his GRANDKIDS!
well said. he dragged out his career long enough...but didnt take it as far as karl malone and some others.Quote:

pippen was getting old and he couldnt make shiit
parrish and jabbar are like the only guys to ever put up halfway decent numbers once they turned 40. just to old.
I personally think pippen is a good player and he is a team player. Jordon is good but had to be the center of attention. Pippen was right up there with jordon in points.Quote:

Pippen is a top 50 all time player, and rightfully so. One of the top 5 defenders ever, and no slouch on offense. Pippen had a great run, but it was definitely time to hang em up. Karl Malone, while not half of what he was a decade ago, was still a very good player in his last year with the Lakers. If he hadn't gotten injured the Lakers would have beaten Detroit that year.
i could not have said it any better.Quote:

Age and no MJ finally caught up to him. But lets not forget him wearing 33 for the Bulls.
agreed. i think he was the best sidekick ever. but a star on his own right? not so much.Quote:

as much as i disliked the bulls pip was a DAMN good defender with his long ass arms he could guard 3 offensive players at once...in hs he was known as the one man press and the other 4 guys were in the frontcourt
Not saying that jordon isn't one of the best players. Just think other people could of made more points than they did if given the oppurtunity. Sorry I am just a pippen fan all the way!! Always have been!!Quote:
