Apparently all the “Scottie Pippen couldn’t win anything without Michael” jokes are dead. While out to dinner last night at popular Malibu restaurant Nobu, Pippen got into an altercation with a man outside. Pippen may be retired from the league, but he keeps himself in great shape. Pippen is 6’8″ and weighs somewhere around 225 pounds.
According to TMZ, the man was so badly injured that he needed medical attention. However, when the ambulance arrived, Pippen was no longer at the scene. While violence is never the answer, I think we all learned not mess with Scottie Pippen!
[UPDATE]: Pippen has been named as a suspect in a felony assault with a deadly weapon case. The deadly weapon being his hands and feet after allegedly knocking a fan out with one punch and continuously kicking him while he was on the ground. The man supposedly asked Pippen for an autograph to which Pippen refused and somehow a fight broke out.
