Scottie Pippen making a comeback?

[King Taharqa]

Scottie Pippen is serious about making an NBA comeback.

Pippen, 41, hasn't played since February 2004, when a left knee injury forced him to retire. But he told reporters Thursday that he wants to return, hopefully to a contender that could make use of his experience in a playoff run.

He said he's in good shape, his knee is fine and he'd even be willing to sign a 10-day contract to prove what he can do.
"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.

I'm thinking of trying to come back for the playoffs," Pippen said.

"Something like the last two months of the season, somewhere I can come back and play limited minutes to start, play point forward for someone and build toward the playoffs. It's something I've been thinking about for the last three months."

Pippen said he'd like to eventually become an NBA coach and would be willing to apprentice as an assistant as well.

''But I'd like to play first," he said. "I feel I still have a year and a half of basketball left in me if I'm put in the right situation. I'd even be willing to sign a 10-day contract. At least that would be a start. I just want a chance to show that I can still help a team.''

So after seeing Pippens recent comments I think he's a dumb ass and doesn't deserve a chance back. Check this out

So Pippen never hesitated when he was asked—once again—about not being appreciated as much as he should have been.

"I know that, but I think people love me just as much as they love Michael," Pippen said. "The fans who understand the game, the GMs and coaches. I think they'd rather have a Scottie than a Michael."

There was an awkward, shocked pause after Pippen answered—Pippen over Jordan?—and someone finally asked why.

"Because I'm an all-around player," Pippen added. "Coaches would rather have a Scottie-type player than a Michael. I was an all-around player. I made people around me better."

yuck.....stay retired Pippen, what do you think you can prove at 41?

I cant blame Scottie for wanting to come back, a lot of players in all sports do that. However, I have to believe that there are some young guys out there that would be more beneficial to an NBA team than Scottie at 41. I also agree with Chan about him being a dumbass for those comments.

Most coaches and GMs would rather have a very solid basketball player over the greatest to play the sport to this day?

Ok.
