The Los Angeles Lakers game was delayed last night, and Scottie Pippen is to blame for it. Not literally, but the basketball legend got too many fingers pointed at him for his hilarious act. The six-time NBA champion playfully got his hands on the ball while the play was still on, and what happened next eventually went viral online.
The former Chicago Bulls veteran knows the Internet and how things work online, so he seized the opportunity and uploaded the video from his very own X/Twitter account. Pippen was seen stopping the ball from the sidelines, and just in a fraction of a second, the ball was invisible from the public eye.
He intentionally took the ball and put it between his back and the chair just beside the hard court. The clip even gets funnier as the referee is visibly clueless about the ball. He has been calling for assistance finding the game ball. The legendary small forward also added a funny caption to his tweet and wrote, “Scottie Trippen.”

However, it was not the only time Scottie Pippen blew up online. His social media handles are a memer’s heaven. Pippen posts all of his raw emotions through his accounts, especially when he is hyperactive on X/Twitter. Other than the internet frenzy, Michael Jordan’s teammate was at the Crypto.com arena to support his son Scottie Pippen Jr.
Scottie Pippen Is Getting Internet Crazy
The NBA legend was present throughout the Lakers vs. Memphis Grizzlies game, but it was a sad day for his son as LA won by 116-110. Pippen Jr. could only contribute to his side with just two points and two rebounds during the nine minutes of play time he got.
