Scottie Pippen Admits He Doesn’t Even Know Any EuroLeague Teams

Scottie Pippen made a notable appearance at the EuroLeague Final Four in Berlin alongside NBA stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Dennis Schroder. The trio attended the event to watch the matchups between Panathinaikos and Fenerbahce, as well as Real Madrid and Olympiacos. 

However, in a surprising revelation in an interview before the start of the semifinals, the NBA Hall of Famer admitted that he was not familiar with the teams and players competing in the prestigious event.

“I had some freedom to come here, but I’m here with some friends from the Australian National Basketball League. We’re here to check out some of the talent. They told me how great European basketball is, so I’m here to check it out at the Final Four.”

“I trust my team that they brought me into a great venue. I’m looking forward to the game I really don’t. I really don’t even know the four teams that’s in the finals. I don’t know much about the players that I’m going to be watching, but I’m really looking forward to get on the court and check it out.”

During a short interview with the EuroLeague before the start of the first semifinal games, Pippen confessed that he had little knowledge about the teams participating in the Final Four. He explained that he was accompanied by friends from the Australian National Basketball League (NBL) who encouraged him to attend the event and witness the talent on display.

Despite his lack of familiarity with the European basketball scene, Pippen expressed enthusiasm about being at the Final Four and was eager to see the competition firsthand. He trusted his companions to have chosen a great venue for the event and looked forward to experiencing the games.

When asked for his insights or predictions about the Final Four matchups, Pippen candidly admitted that he did not have any, emphasizing his limited knowledge of the teams and players involved. However, he remained optimistic and eager to witness the games unfold on the court.

Pippen’s admission highlighted the global appeal of basketball and the significance of events like the EuroLeague Final Four in attracting legendary figures from the sport. Despite his lack of familiarity with the European basketball landscape, Pippen’s presence added to the excitement of the event and underscored the universal love for the game across the continent.
