Scottie Pippen has been more than vocal since ESPN premiered The Last Dance documentary in 2020. Aside from airing out his grievances with teammate Michael Jordan in his recent autobiography Unguarded, the Hall of Famer is also setting the record straight about one of Hip Hop’s most feared figures — Suge Knight.
During a recent appearance on Charles Oakley’s Chopping It Up With Oakley podcast, Pippen recalled a moment in the club when he, the Death Row Records co-founder and Oakley were all in the venue. However, when things got heated and Oakley stepped into the picture, Knight backed down.
“I’m sitting in the middle of the party and all of a sudden, I look up and I’m seeing all these people get pushed around,” Pippen recalled. “So Oak looks and said, ‘That’s Suge Knight. He don’t want none of this here smoke! I had beef with him the other night.'”
He added, “Suge walked around Oak that night. That’s what I saw!”
Oakley, one of the NBA’s most noted enforcers, spent 19 seasons in the league, most of them with the New York Knicks.
His initial role in the league? Protecting none other than Jordan in a pre-championship Chicago Bulls uniform.
Pippen’s recent media spree has gotten zero response from Jordan but the beloved basketball legend has more than a few people speaking on his behalf.
After Pippen’s initial comments regarding Jordan became public, Rick Ross voiced his displeasure with the Bulls legend, saying Pip’s woes are his and his alone.
“The first thing that come to my mind is fuck you, Scottie Pippen,” Ross said. “You ain’t handling your business when you was negotiating your own contract 30 years ago,” Rick Ross said. “You got fucked and what you want, Mike to negotiate your contract? Then when it came to this documentary, you got fucked again waited two years to say I got fucked.”
Oak was too big for even Suge, Suge always seemed like someone that fights guys smaller than him, but back downs to someone his own size unless he completely outnumbers you.
Suge Was A COWARD
U one of them say that now types Bob! Lmao@U Lil bro!!! You the ???
Totally!
Suge was 6’6 over 300 probably 325.
Suge was more like 6’2, 300 pounds. Oakley is 6’9, 250, Once again this is what people do with Suge the same thing you did make him either bigger or tougher than he really is. You made him 6’6, when he is 6’2 that’s a huge difference.
I can believe that! I got a chance to hang out with Oak through a hustler I was cool with and Oak seemed like he was definitely not to be played with…Dude gave a lot of dope advice as well and never spent alot throughout his NBA career…
Liar you never met him goofy ass
The only thing worse than a gullible fool is a moronic skeptic.
Things happen in this world. People have all sorts of experiences and interactions, particularly if they’re doing something with their life or a person of interest. Although you probably wouldn’t understand that life ..
Yeah he did I was there 😂😂
I have always loved Scottie and my favorite Basketball player of all times. What he is doing is spineless, degrading, and simply shameful. Scottie, when you reach certain stage in your life, you got to be a man. You have shown that you are not a man. In Liberia, we say “man can’t talk all”. As a man some things must remain sacred!
shut the fuck up. NBA means nothing for you to be talking like a btch. This Scottie Pippen we talking about. He want to set the record straight that’s his business keep the fck out from whatever bush you from. Wifi stealing mf think you can talk
Sacred, Secret, & Silent… ✌️?️?
Agreed… Scottie Pippen needs to eat a piece of humble pie. I think a lot of guys in the professional sports should have eaten a piece of humble pie for Thanksgiving instead of sweet potato pie. People will never know how stupid you are until you open your mouth.
oakley, anthony mason, patrick ewing and later latrell sprewell…the knicks had some tough teams even the smaller gusy like greg anthony, chris childs, they even made alan houston tough lol….but suge knight man, he dont want it with Oak one on one….he aint shit without his homeboys
Smith-Oakley-Ewing-Starks-Harper. My favourite starting 5 team ever. RiP to Anthony Mason. Love the Knicks.
Officer Rickey…
?
Oak from East Cleveland same hood as Bone Thugs.
East Cleveland and St.Clair is not the Same Bro !!! Ctfu !!! East Cleveland is not even Cleveland for the record !!!
Ah for the record Cleveland is harder then most the cities dudes think is the worst of the worst!Take notes gangs never found a home up here in Cleveland Fam, Everything Heatless dis way 86 Fam!
Scottie Aint Pimpin is doing everything besides pleasing his wife. You talk about Jordan but won’t say anything to Future. Then the heaux ass neega stayed ?
Scottie really dude? You must be trying to get beamed the fugg uP! It’s so laughable that all these mafuggers that are coming out of the wood work now that Simon has.been locked uP for 4 plus years now! These haters getting comfy thinking Simon has 24 more years left! Lmao! They aren’t CONsidering that California breaks a sentence in half right out the bat! So that 28 is 14 minus the 4 plus down makes 10 years & 10 years may make a hater feel like they can stretch them jaws open bad bump their gums a bit but they should never underestimate The Game Of Simon Says!!! It Ain’t Over Mafuggers!!!
Already
Grow the fk up, rap culture destroyed black America and you talk up a criminal bitch who sold his soul for $$$. Get new role models
ROFL! Who?
For someone whom was at every Bulls home game during Michael Jordan and Scottie Pipens era. Nine rows off the floor.I would say they both were awesome players but, the difference between the two is that MJ had the killer instinct and a spirit of never give up regardless of what was going on with him. Not that Scottie was not great he just did not have what MJ had and that was the killer instinct. Scottie proved that when Michael was gone from the team for about a year. I am certainly saddened to hear this in regards to how Pippen felt about MJ. This is something I feel should have been talked out between MJ and Scottie. Chicago fans hold the both of them close to our hearts. They both were valuable players whom meant the world to us and still do. I hope that Scottie and MJ can find peace in this. Both of you were great players.
Well spoken nuff said!
We’ll said. I think animosity or Borden-line hatred or maybe even jealousy isn’t healthy and will eat you up and make you bitter. I think Scotties a very bitter person who may need to confront his feelings head on. It’s the only way he’s going to heal. I hope he’s trying to do just that. It’s sad! All these years I thought they liked each other. You would never think players one who played that well together disliked each other so much. Or it may be one-sided. from Pipkins side only! I think the most important part is that they played well together and never let the fans down!
Well said.
Wow I would have given anything to be in your shoes to see MJ live in person in his home court damn what an experience.
Scottie is a bum that would not have had any kind of career without Jordan. He spent more time complaining to th refs about calls he didn’t get than playing the game. Sorry but suge isn’t afraid of anyone oak.
Suge started pushing his weight around the industry, and its hard not to think about getting your face smashed in by a guy bigger than you. So when Oak stepped up,the rile was finally reversed, and Suge wanted nothing to do with Oak
Suge Knight the man the myth
So they were saying “smoke” in the 90s?
That’s the first thing that came to my mind. Lol
That’s what I thought as well.. Didn’t Future have him crying ? over his thot wife? SMH ??
Yea we used the word smoke back then you young ppl didn’t make everything
Oh yes SMOKE YOU BEEN AROUND AKA HAND ME THE SMOKEY,AKA THEY DIDN’T WANT NO SMOKE…AKA I SMOKED HIS A.. B4 HE GOT TO THE DOOR…Even ( clout ) we was floating on cloud 9 ,, we gave him his clout his pull
They def did! It’s not new @ all.
They def did! It’s not new @ all.
What kills me is…Nobody brings stuff up when people are walking around on the streets….they wait
till they dead or locked up for decades before they decide to tell a story.
I love Scottie. I even imitated my game To his game growing up playing varsity and some college ball. But man come on Scottie… To be that upset about the last dance is a bit ridiculous. I mean that was Jordans bio… How much of your book is from Jordans pov or kukoc’s view… NONE! I think that’s the real question and your being kinda selfish!
Rick
