My sister went to U of Central Arkansas with Scottie Pippen. She knew him a little bit. When we moved to Chicago we (my parents) opened a few frozen yogurt franchises. Well, Scottie came to the Bulls and before our grand opening my sister talked him into coming out and cutting the ribbon with us.
I don't care what anybody says about Scottie. He charged us $500 dollars for the appearance and he was so kind and soft spoken. He signed autographs the whole time and donated all of the proceeds to MS charities. He liked my mom so much that they became friends. He actually almost moved down the street from us so he had some genuine friends near him. He went on to do a lot of our grand openings, always charging only $500 and always donating it to charity.

I've heard a lot of crappy things about Scottie over the years but he was always kind to my mom.
