February 16, 200719 yr Pippen says he'd like to come back and play for a contender Any thoughts on this? Who might be interested in him? The Heat is the first team that comes to my mind.
February 16, 200719 yr He would fit in REALLY well in Miami with all the other OLDER players. lol The average age of that team has to be near 40-45.
February 16, 200719 yr Author He would fit in REALLY well in Miami with all the other OLDER players. lol The average age of that team has to be near 40-45. That's why they immediately came to mind...I was thinking of Alonzo Mourning and Gary Payton, in addition to stockpiling a couple of "name" guys like Antoine Walker and Jason Williams. But, I agree with the sentiment on here...I think Pippen should stay retired. I don't doubt that, in the right situation, he could help a team, but it just seems like guys of his caliber have a hard time just playing a role. Pippen seems more likely to accept that than a lot of guys I've seen. I can't see a legit contender taking a chance on him. Maybe a team that thinks they could make a run with a little added boost and if everything clicked right...who knows? I hope he stays retired.
February 16, 200719 yr Don't do it Pip. Pippen is 41 years old. After retiring, he spent some time working as a basketball analyst for the Chicago Bulls. Currently, he is a special assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers. On December 25, 2005, Pippen debuted as studio analyst for the NBA on ABC. Before this he was a part-time analyst for ESPN. Pippen is an avid poker player, and frequently participated in high-stakes games with teammates Jordan and Ron Harper when the Bulls were on the road. On April 22, 1999, Pippen was detained under suspicion of driving while intoxicated, but the charges were later dropped due to insufficient evidence. On December 9, 2005, Pippen had his jersey number retired by the Chicago Bulls in a ceremony. His jersey number 33 joins Jordan's 23, Jerry Sloan's 4 and Bob Love's 10 as the only four numbers retired by the Bulls. Pippen has two children and is married to Assyrian-American Larsa Younan. Pippen is often known to leave relatively poor tips for service personnel who wait on him. A 1997 article in Sports Illustrated named him one of the three biggest "skinflints" in the NBA, along with Kevin Garnett and Shawn Kemp, and noted that restaurant workers at one eatery had given him the nickname "No Tippin' Pippen". * Pippen holds the NBA record for most career assists for a forward. * Pippen holds the NBA record for most career steals for a forward. * Pippen holds the record the record for most career steals in the NBA Playoffs (395). * Pippen recorded 20 career triple-doubles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottie_Pippen

February 16, 200719 yr He should have retired way before he did, no way he should come back. And if you "stiff" a waiter you should eat in your own kitchen.
February 16, 200719 yr He says he has "a year and a half left". "I'm not going to be a nonstop high-flyer like I was in my prime," Pippen said. "But I can still run. I can still dunk. But most of all, I know the game."
