An undrafted free agent out of Vanderbilt in 2022, he saw his first NBA action with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2022-23.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Scottie Pippen Praises Lakers\u2019 LeBron James<\/h2>\n<p>A six-time NBA champion, 10-time All-Defensive Teamer, seven-time All-Star and All-NBA selection, and a member of the NBA\u2019s 75th Anniversary Team, the elder Pippen is no stranger to historic feats and he has celebrated the father-son accomplishments of others.<\/p>\n<p>Pippen praised Lakers star LeBron James for his feat with his son, Bronny James.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s great,\u201d Pippen told Front Office Sports\u2019 Dan Roberts during an interview at the \u201cReal-World Asset Summit\u201d in October. \u201cIt\u2019s a great accomplishment, first of all, that his [Bronny] dad is still playing 22 years in the game. Kudos to that. And you know they were able to make it happen. There\u2019s not much you can say. The father was able to stick around long enough to uh see his son come in the league \u2013 or maybe I should say help his son come into the league.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo matter how you look at it, it all worked out great and \u2026 I think it\u2019ll be a a great piece of history created.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"a1a0a4e16eb549d05f3a2ca284d64a11\">\n<div>\n<article>LeBron and Bronny enter the game together<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Scotty Pippen was three years old when his father played in his final NBA game. Scottie Pippen joked that he would have liked to play alongside Scotty \u201cjust for the salaries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re great,\u201d Pippen told Roberts. \u201cThe game has grown so much. I\u2019ve been out of the game almost 20 years, so to see the growth of the salaries, I think is great. I\u2019ve watched it grow and grow over my years out of the game, and I think it\u2019s great. It\u2019s about revenue sharing., and that just go to show you how much the game has grown over the years globally. We have a lot more international players in the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe growth of the game has allowed the players to have a healthier wallet.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>A Tale of 2 Scottys<\/h2>\n<p>Fans might have noticed the difference in the spelling between the two Pippens despite the Grizzlies guard being a \u201cJr.\u201d According to the younger Pippen, the former Bulls star is also \u201cScotty.\u201d He chose to alter the spelling of his name out of preference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, [there\u2019s no backstory]. My dad\u2019s name\u2019s with a \u201cy\u201d as well. He just changed it with \u201cie.\u201d But we\u2019re both the same,\u201d Pippen told ESPN in 2022. \u201cI have no idea [why he changed it].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The elder Pippen is listed in most search results with the preferred spelling of his first name.<\/p>\n<p>There is at least one memorabilia vendor \u2013 Celebrity Cutouts \u2013 that offers an enlarged cutout of \u201cScotty Maurice Pippen Sr.\u201d So the former Bulls star has not completely been able to escape the original spelling of his name.<\/p>\n<p>Josh Buckhalter covers the NBA and NFL for Heavy.com.
