Lucky kid, Scottie seems like a great guy with his head on his shoulders.

Hope that their child is healthy and that mama is feeling well.

Congratulations Scottie!

Apparently she is 32 years old and Scottie is only 23? And we didn't draft Kyle Flip because...

I don't think the age difference in Flip's situation was the main source of alarm. It was that she was his babysitter at one point, or something like that.

Anyway, congrats to Scottie.

Scottie looks like the type that's going to love being a dad. I know I did and it changed me for the best.

But this is definitely outta left field.

Good call being a father when you're rich. Makes things easier in today's era.

Congrats to SB4!

Scotty seems hella immature to be honest, parenthood should speed up that maturity curve real quick.

Money helps, but money doesn't make a good/great father

For a lot of players, their overall maturity, including the maturity in their game become noticeable after they become dads. We saw that in DeMar. Not saying Scottie wasn't mature enough (his personality is great) but more like the understanding that all you're doing is for your children, and the extra motivation that instils in players. Congrats Scottie!

Can we just naturalize Scottie right now. We’re really weak at the 4 man, and Scottie at the 4, small ball 5 would really tie the roster together lol.

Congrats to Scottie.

On a side note, personally not a fan of having kids out of wedlock as it tends to be less than ideal for everyone involved. But. Hopefully this time's the exception.

23 is pretty young to be a dad, and Scottie hasnt shown the greatest maturity. 32 - 23 is also a big age gap at that age......chances are Scottie and mom to be have caregiver dynamic already in their relationship i.e she is the caregiver. Hope he can navigate it all.

She groomed Flip as a teenager. The brain stops developing into your 20s. Scottie's young to become a dad by today's standards, but at least he's old enough to make the same kind of relationship mistakes as most (hopefully this isn't one!).

Grats to Scottie.
