Should Michael Jordan help out his "broke" sidekick Scottie Pippen financially?

[O.J A 6'4Mamba]

Scottie was dumb with his money but MJ should help him out.

Without Scottie, MJ would have never won all those rings. Without those rings Nike would have not been able to push the Jordan Brand like they were then and now.

I say MJ owes half of his fortunes to Scottie. There was a huge gap between Scottie's salary and MJ's salary but a small gap in terms of basketball skill and production. Scottie gets half.

I do think MJ owes it to Scottie, he should give him a job first of all working with the Bobcats.

MJ could get him a job making Air Jordans, that pays what, 15 cents a day?

Best idea in the thread.

Let him work a hard day. If you can spend $200 million in under 25 years, learn hard living the stressful way.

@ Anyone who thinks Jordan would help Pippen out....Dude wasn't a good teamate, and he damn sure aint gonna help out one now.


Kobe would def help out Gasol though...

come on laker fans, don't come in here claiming MJ would only be a glorified vince heartless carter or dominique wilkins smh. mj most likely wouldn't have 6 rings without scottie, he would have definitely had a couple. he is mj, he is oldschool's god. cut him some slack x(

Nobody is saying anything except that MJ would not have gotten those 6 rings without Pippen.

MJ is a gambler and that bum gambled a lot of money away while riding Scottie's coat tail financially.

He owes him something...doesn't have to be cash but probably a high position on the Bobcats.

This. give scottie 150k a year and let him live his life. If anything we should blame the Bulls. They don't treat their stars right that's why MJ wanted to get the out at 98'. However, they don't treat Derrick Rose that way.

And there is the first ladies and gentlemen...

not without sidekick just as talented and versatile as Pippen he wasn't.

OR, OR, let Scottie acquire an exclusive account with Jordan/Nike and let him set up a shop or several that will offer Jordans and Nike. Good business, and it's rather difficult to establish an account with Jordan or Nike.

[DuMa]

How do you fools know MJ didnt already? Sometimes a man has too much pride to take or ask for money. its possible Scottie turned him down already and its a nonstory at best. but of course everyone will just assume the worse.

LMAO @ all the bitter, sad Laker/Kobe fans popping up like weeds in this thread. Still mad because Chicago stole LA's shine for an entire decade and reduced the city to basketball irrelevancy, and mad because their hero will never come close to dethroning Jordan as the GOAT. CRY MOAR PLZ.

Let me guess....you're another insecure MJ nut hugger?

This isn't about Kobe vs MJ....this is about humanity and doing the right thing.

Scottie is broke and without him, MJ would have never gotten 6 rings. MJ owes half his fortune to Scottie for riding Scottie's coat tail financially.

Humanity? How about we talk about rape?

[IBrickShots]

He should just teach him how to invest money properly. Didn't he lose most of it because of bad investments?

[mike_23_goat]

If Scottie's broke, then Mike needs to help out his bud...It's as simple as that

[JustSaying]

MJ would rather gamble away money... than help a former teammate.
