It's very hard to spend all that money, and not have a penny left. He made 110 million as a player, that's not even counting the many endorsements he had. Nike, Frito-Lay, Visa, Gargoyles, Ameritech, ect. Plus, the NBA still pays him money. He's not coming back for money, he has plenty of it.

Not only did he make a shitload of money when he was playing, but he had plenty of endorsements to give him money, AND he got money from being an analyst or whatever after he retired (when he worked for TNT). I guarantee you that he is flowing in money right now. Unless he has a MAJOR gambeling problem, that is like 10 times worse than John Daly's, I highly doubt that he is completley out of money.
ST LOUIS An appeals court in Missouri says former N-B-A star Scottie Pippen, who played for Central Arkansas in college, must pay a bank more than five (m) million dollars in a breach of contract lawsuit involving a loan for a business jet. The ruling by the Missouri Court of Appeals upheld a ruling in Saint Louis County, where a judge found that Pippen owed U.S. Bank just over five (m) million dollars in principal, interest and attorneys' fees.Pippen and his wife formed a company called Air Pip and borrowed money to buy Pippen his own plane. U.S. Bank later bought the note and sued the Pippens and their company.Pippen has acknowledged signing a promissory note but it has never been made clear whether he ever got to use the Grumman Gulfstream Two corporate jet. He claims he was the victim of the business deal.Pippen played 17 years for the Chicago Bulls, Portland Trail Blazers and Houston Rockets. Now 41, he lives in Fort Lauderdale, Floridahttp://www.wmcstations.com/Global/story.asp?S=6104127There you go. It got me thinking about how much money he spent.Scottie may or may not be a drugee. I don't know. He could be. I'm just pointing out ways he could've lost money and in my opinion it's pretty obvious he wants to come back because he needs the money.
That doesn't mean Pippen is broke, he could be dodging the payment because he doesn't feel like dishing out 5 million bucks. It doesn't mean he doesn't have it...

You'd be surprised how fast NBA players use up their money because they see their bank accounts and think, "oh yeah, buying this won't hurt" then they check the next week and they have half as much money. I'm just saying that's what I think, I hope I'm wrong, but it's a possibility that he could've run out of money.

He's not running out of money, thats absurd. Scottie Pippen doesn't make a huge investment in an airplane and then go the next morning, 'oh sh*t, where did my millions go, I can't afford this plane.' Your post is so stupid...lord.

Guys, why dont yall stop bagging on the guy. His post wasnt even that retarted at all. Pippen probably did blow alot of money, and is it really that stupid to assume that a guy is a little low on cash because he isnt paying up what he owes? NBA players do spend alot of money, and although I think that this isnt the reason he wants to come back, lets not completley disclude it. Seriously, stop being assholes to him. PFF is trying to change, and I can see a difference already.

Your welcome bro. I am behind you trying to change, and I see that you are improving already and I am impressed. Keep up the good work.
Even with the plane I mean don't think he spend all that money he made. But Yeah you never know. I think he just wants another ring that is why he coming back to a contender.

In terms of common sense lets be honest that the likeyness that Scottie has no money left is very high. Some of your points are valid but I think that I have more proof than you do so therefor I have more credibility in this subject. I know you have your opinions and most of the time they're right, but I honestely think you're making a big mistake by calling me stupid when my points have a lot of credibility.

I guess I didnt realize who I was messing with.It wasnt that stupid of a post. You are just looking for him to fail. You are the one who is trying to bring him down every post that he makes. You said it yourself "just ignore his posts right". Then why dont you start ignorning if you dont care or agree with what he has to say.I dont believe that is the reason he wants to come back to the league, and I never said that it was, but he found a link over it and decided to post it. Leave it alone....

He never said that he blew all the money, he just posted the natural tendency of a famous basketball player. They spend alot of money.....It just makes sense. Do you disagree? He just posted the link to show a possiblity. He has stated that he doenst necessarilly think that is the truth, but was just posting it to bring it to peoples attention. It really isnt that big of a deal.

The probably that Scottie Pippen has no money left is high? Where in the hell do you come to that conclusion? Because of a lawsuit over a loan? If Scottie Pippen were broke he wouldn't be getting a pitsy job on ESPN or a minimum contract for a few months in the NBA. If Scottie Pippen was blowing all his money away I'm sure it would have made some kind of press considering his celebrity.
I think we have to look at the picture of this whole debate of whether or not Pippen is coming back to the NBA for money.My opinion is no, because if he was in any bad shape financially, I'm pretty sure we would have heard of something through the media. It's not hard for it to leak considering his rich and the famous status. And no, PFF, your article does not show he's in bad shape. Also, Pippen would be taking the lowest contract in the NBA money wise for the veteran minimum. Which comes in at just a million. So that's hardly enough money to cover what you seem to be implementing a hardship moneywise for Pippen. I mean give me a break if you believe Pippen is coming back because he's financially burdened and a million is going to solve his problems.He's coming back for his own intentions of possibly wanting to fulfill his urge to play again. And in addition, a possible championship run. I don't see how money factors in at all.
