Hooped Up

The last time we all saw Scottie Pippen  was around the time Michael Jordan lost his mind giving the worst hall of fame induction speech EVER. Well now, Pippen might have upstaged Jordan in the loco department with his participation in the movie Midgets vs. Mascots.

In fact, his presence in the movie is so weird that he released a statement about his involvement in the flick. Next time, just do a cr@ppy reality show for attention Scottie.

After the jump, read Pippen’s weird @ss press release.

“In 2008, I agreed to play a cameo role in a movie titled A Tribute to Big Red (now titled Midgets vs. Mascots). My role was scripted, and the first two scenes went off without any problems. During the third scene, I was told that four Little People, along with actor Gary Coleman, were going to become angry with something I said and storm off as the scene ends. Instead, they basically attacked me, with Gary Coleman apparently climbing on a chair behind me to hit me over the head with a phone (twice).

“A short fight ensued before I heard the film’s director yell ‘cut.’ As I recall, some of the Little People were laughing as the director explained that the scene was ’sort of like an episode of the TV show Punk’d.’ At that point, I left quickly without a clear understanding of what was going on.

“As for the Little Person who claims he was injured in the attack, I really don’t think I caused the injury or can be held to blame. To the best of my knowledge, there is no action being taken against me, nor am I pursuing any action. For the record, I have never seen the movie and, in hindsight, wish I’d not been involved with it. I simply wanted to make clear my role and position as I understand the movie is coming out soon. I will not be answering any further questions regarding the film.”
