Rodman played basketball after he retired from the NBA. Didn't Magic play also? If I was that good, I'd be playing basketball for the rest of my life.

Hard to judge anything based on a mix like this, but I was impressed by the block and dunk. He looks like he's in good physical shape.

Yeah the block was good but... the dunk?!? Nobody was guarding him and he seemed somewhat surprised to dribble uncontested until the basket...

Impossible to tell what kind of shape Pippen is in by 29 minutes of weak opposition defense. I'm more interested to see if Paxson hires him as head coach. I assume he and Pax get along, though the 90s Bulls teams weren't all that buddy-buddy :nod:

Does anyone know how much he was paid to do this gig in Finland, also it was a two-game contract right?

So is he broke or not , I mean why would he be playing for a team in Europe if he wasn't broke .

We briefly touched upon this in the roundup a day or two ago, but the real reason 41-year-old Scottie Pippen wants to make an NBA comeback is because he?s broker than Mike Tyson and MC Hammer. Combined.

Pippen said the charter-plane issue is one of many poor business decisions that were made primarily by a former agent, whom he blames for causing him to lose about $27 million in bad investments and questionable accounting. Pippen sued his former law firm in 2005, claiming he had been swindled, but he lost the case.

In terms of the plane, court documents claimed Pippen was using charter planes so often in 2001, when he was playing for the Portland Trail Blazers, that a pilot persuaded him to consider buying his own jet. Consequently, Pippen and his wife, Larsa, borrowed $4.375 million from an aircraft finance company, JODA LLC, in the St. Louis area.

U.S. Bank bought that note and filed suit against the Pippens in 2004, even though it was never clear if Pippen even got to use the Grumman Gulfstream II, a twin-engine corporate jet.
