Former NBA legend Scottie Pippen has been in the headlines recently. But this time it’s for something a bit more personal, as the incident has certainly put Scottie Pippen in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Recently, a fan shared a video with the NBA legend, where he openly claimed that Pippen tried to steal his girlfriend.

Surprisingly, the former NBA star didn’t deny the claim. Rather, he responded with a hilarious reaction in the video. “Look, that’s why I’m Pimping. Bro, I’m future, I’m future,” Pippen replied.

Michael Jordan Praises Scottie Pippen’s Defensive Mastery Over Magic Johnson
Scottie Pippen’s defense against Magic Johnson during the 1991 NBA Finals is considered one of the standout moments of his career. As a key player for the Chicago Bulls, Pippen showcased his defensive prowess, especially when tasked with guarding the legendary Johnson. Bulls star Michael Jordan praised Pippen’s defensive skills in The Last Dance documentary, stating his ability to shut down Magic.
“Scottie accepted that challenge, and I knew what Scottie was gonna do. I see it in practice all the time. He gets up in your face and he harasses you. Pip never let him get started,” Jordan said.
However, despite their on-court success together, the relationship between Pippen and Jordan has changed since their playing days. Last year, Pippen made headlines when he accused Jordan of stealing the 1988 Defensive Player of the Year title from him. Pippen claimed that NBA scorekeepers fabricated statistics to favor Jordan.
