Scottie Pippen Just Dropped A Bombshell By Informing People His Name Is Actually 'Scotty'

Life as a 1990s Bulls fan will never be the same. Our world has forever changed.

Scottie Pippen, as it turns out, is not actually Scottie Pippen.

The six-time NBA champion is really: Scotty Pippen.

In the upcoming January issue of Esquire, the Central Arkansas product explains the origins of the historical screw-up.

It’s really Scotty. But for some reason, when people see it with a y, they shorten it to Scott.

That’s how they announced me at the NBA Draft. Scott Pippen. What was I going to do, argue with the commissioner?

Of course not, Scottiey. Because David Stern would have likely nixed your draft day deal to Chicago and forced you to wither away in Seattle.

See how it all began below. Note the commentators mention that “you probably have never heard of Scottie Pippen.”

Well, we hadn’t. And then we knew him all too well. And now we don’t know what to believe.

Thanks, commissioner!
