Scottie Pippen on Rose’s comeback (via Comcast SportsNet Chicago): “He’s going to be a bigger, better, stronger player. I think it’s great to have something like this happen if it’s going to happen at a young age (23). He’s going to heal fast, and he’s going to push himself now to be better than he […]

Forget ‘Melo…
…the Bulls have inked Brian Scalabrine to a non-guaranteed deal, making any potential trade for Anthony redundant. I mean, there’s only so much shooting and scoring a team needs, right? It’s just as well. The Denver Nuggets were willing to trade Carmelo to the Bulls, but only if Joakim Noah was included in the deal. […]

Scottie Pippen’s torture chamber
With Scottie’s intro into the Hall of Fame imminent, there has been a renewed interest in his career…which, oddly enough, was never fully appreciated due to Michael Jordan’s shadow.

Scottie Pippen: Weather man
Bulls living legend and all-around snappy dresser Scottie Pippen tried to give the people of Chicago (and former teammate Toni Kukoc) some warm weather today…with no success. Thanks for trying, though, Pip. Random thought: I wish Scottie would randomly show up at my job. That would sure break up the monotony of filling out all […]
