Scottie Pippen has a lot of thoughts on a lot of things.
This might have been the most I have seen him talk in decades.
He has a theory on Ben Simmons as well. He bluntly says Ben Simmons is scared to shoot because he doesn’t like to be humiliated. He also takes shots at Doc Rivers for putting Simmons in bad situations.
Here is the full quote via GQ.
Y’all know he don’t look to shoot in the fourth quarter. You know he’s afraid to go to the foul line, he don’t wanna be humiliated.
This kid been this way the whole time and Doc brought him in and set him up for failure.
That’s his weakness: shooting the basketball. If you take that away from Ben Simmons, he got no weakness. That’s Giannis’ weakness, too. But, Giannis don’t mind being humiliated. That’s the difference between him and Ben Simmons. Giannis will go to the free throw line and shoot two fucking airballs and come right down the court the next time and try and dunk on you. If Ben Simmons miss a free throw, he gonna start passing it before he get to the free throw line on the other end. He didn’t even wanna cross half court with the basketball because he was so afraid of being humiliated going to that foul line. That’s why he didn’t try to make that dunk at the end of the game. He’s been doing it all year, bro.
Do you think this is true?
FYI, Pippen’s wife Larsa tried to shoot her shot at Simmons.
Taking to Instagram, Kim Kardashian’s pal responded to a recent report alleging she was seen leaving a Hollywood bash with Ben Simmons, the ex-boyfriend of Kim’s younger sister Kendall Jenner.
Everything is six degrees of separation these days.
