Quite frankly, I've never been much of a fan of former National Basketball Association player ... ho ass Scottie Pippen.
Yeah, he was a pretty good basketball player and he enjoyed a lot of success ... riding the coattails of Michael Jordan's greatness.
Pippen was one of those guys who always talked big game, but did so on the strength of success he achieved thanks largely to Jordan's greatness.
This all brings me to some current bitchassness coming from Pippen who, 20 years later, is still hating on the Detroit Pistons.
In the truest sense of what it means to be a hater, Scottie just can't let it go ... two decades after Jordan (you too Scottie) finally beat Detroit and ultimately started a string of NBA championship success.
Here is some of the bullshit Scottie had to say recently about the Pistons:
So, Scottie (who was known to take his shots at people ... see right) ... if you were so much smarter, quicker and faster ... how did the Pistons keep getting to the NBA Finals, win two championships and keep beating that ass all those times?‘‘The Pistons were a nasty team,’’ he said. ‘‘You always had to expect them to pl
ay dirty because, remember, they were the Bad Boys of Motown. They’d go out of their way to be mean and try to hurt you. And because we had better athletes, coach Chuck Daly just let them play the way they had to play to win.
"Bill Laimbeer was no real athlete. The same for Rick Mahorn and Joe Dumars and James Edwards. We were faster, quicker, more competitive and smarter."
You couldn't have been that much quicker, faster, smarter and more competitive if you couldn't beat them. You should have been killing them if that was really the case.
Secondly, how can you take a shot like that at Joe Dumars, who is about the most sportsman-like guy in all of sports?
Dumars discarded more class the last time he clipped his toenails than Scottie Pippen ever had as a basketball player.
