I know Scottie Pippen had a large family he needed to support and some back issues when he signed that contract in 1991, but damn, Luc Longley was getting more than him and he was something like the 120th best paid player in the league in 1998 (and ironically it was the mingebag owner who told him not to do a long term deal!!)
Just read an aticle on that today on CBS about that.
Amazing he was the 2nd best player in the league and getting a pittance.
Shocking from the ownership who took advantage that his family were relying on him money wise and they lowballed him to save money, they refused to even renegotiate the terms after the first 3peat.
Him and Jordan called the idiot of a GM crumbs because he always had muffin crumbs on his shirt and tie.
That article talked about the Bulls GM enamoured with signing that Croat who was touted the best overseas player on the planet, so Pippen and Jordan talked and decided to take turns guarding him in the 92 Olympics and he only scored 4 points.
Just seen this is up on Netflix UK now.
Nice one, be watching that with the other half sadly a (Crazy mad Lakers fan) who thinks Kobe is the GOAT.
Hopefully watching this changes that belief.
