Pippen picks MJ for his HOF intro speech

[hater]

"I can't think of a better person to do it," said Pippen on Monday. "Michael is someone I shared my career with, accomplishing most of what I have accomplished thus far. He was a great teammate, teacher and admirer. I'm excited to have an opportunity to be the first person that he has presented into the Hall of Fame. I figure if anyone deserves to be on the stage with me, it's him." [...]

Pippen said Jordan was "thrilled and overwhelmed" by the invitation. [...]

"I had other guys that I thought about, but Michael was by far the obvious choice and an easy one for me to make," said Pippen.

Ah, I will definitely be watching this.

Scottie and MJ teaming up again

[scanry]

Pippen has a nice heart, and MJ should've had Pippen by his side last year.

You have to be a Hall Of Famer to present someone so it should be interesting so see if anyone else ever picks MJ or Pip to present them in the future.

I hope he doesn't talk about how great he is again.

I was hoping Scottie would pick another great SF like Julius Erving to be his presenter. If Jordan gets too much booze in him there's no telling what will happen

Then again even last year during Jordan's diatribe against his "motivators" the first thing out of his mouth was nice words for Scottie so I think he'll do the job well.

Nice and obvious choice. Thank goodness presenters don't make the introductions.

I did find it strange Scottie called Michael a great "admirer." Just an odd choice of words. People don't generally claim other people as their "admirers" even if true. Almost felt like a self-affirmation "Michael loves me" comment.

I can hear Jordan now..."Every Batman needs a Robin, and I'm here today......"

Jordan: " Scottie was an amazing Small Forward..speaking of small forwards, I would hanve never done what Lebron did this summer...."

I think Scottie was referring to the humble comments MJ made about him in during the 72 wins season.
" Right now, Scottie is the best player in the NBA "

[Ashy Larry]

Too bad they were locked into horrible contracts .......

[Mark in Austin]

I wonder if MJ will shave his hitler mustache for the occasion...
