Scottie Pippen…in Finland ?
September 21, 2007
My man Christophe was so right ! The Finns are taking over the Basketball map. First youngster Petteri Koponen gets drafted in the first round and now they get one of the 50 best players of all time ???
You might think I’m joking like the same Michael Jordan joke everyone does each year. But this is the real Scottie. Well, a 41-year old Scottie…
Finnish “powerhouse” Torpan Pojat announced on its website that Pippen should play 2 games with the “Boys of the Croft” this winter. He would then become the 2nd former Bull to wear a ToPo uniform after Dennis Rodman.
Last season rumors said Scottie was considering a return to the NBA and now as a second option he goes to Finland ? Crazy things like that could only happen in Santa Claus’ homeland.

By now we know nobody gave him a chance.You might think now - hey we have heard that Scottie Pippen will play one game in Finland - so tell me something new. Don’t worry, we won’t tell you the same old story we already talked about. [...]
1M euros is way too much. I think it is less than 100.000.
[...] Next interesting story: with all the "old" NBA stars like Reggie Miller or Charles Oakley thinking about a comeback in the NBA’s off season one guy, who also wanted to play in the NBA again, got a one game contract in Finland: Scottie Pippen [...]
