Exactly ROK, not to mention, look at all of Pippen's former teammates and friends around the league....I doubt he would come crawling back for a minimum contract when MJ blows $500,000 a night in Vegas. If he needed money he could probably easily find it in other ways.
Charles Barkly for god sake lost how much gambling and he is fine and I did not hear about Pippen losing any money gambling so it's hard to think that he went thru all that money + he still get's money for stuff.
