“Recently, Scottie Pippen says he would win six rings without Michael Jordan. That’s when you tell your friends, ‘Man, take a shot.’ DRAYMOND GREEN: What’s wrong with Scottie, man? Somebody gotta check on Scottie. I grew up watching them, man. I’m a big Scottie fan. I don’t know what Scottie’s going through, but I send my love because, no, I’m dead serious, man. You start making comments like the ones Scottie’s been making lately, and people start remembering you for those comments—not for being Scottie Pippen. I don’t like that. People try to downplay who you are and what you’ve done because of the things you’ve said recently. I just don’t want to see people doing that to Scottie because, for damn sure, Scottie is Scottie. That’s why I want to make sure he’s good. Saying stuff like he said about never sitting down for dinner with Michael—it sounds like it’s coming from a place of pain.” -via YouTube / January 23, 2025
