Scottie Pippen has many fans from his years of playing on the Chicago Bulls. The most famous one would be the President of the United States himself, Barack Obama. Recently, the president sent a personalized handwritten note to Bulls legend Scottie Pippen for his 50th birthday:
It's not every day you get a handwritten note from the @POTUS. Thank you @barackobama for the birthday wishes! http://pic.twitter.com/QC3tvP0Lq4

The six-time NBA champion, seven-time All-Star and Hall of Famer is regarded as one of the most versatile players to ever play the game and one of the best perimeter defenders in the history of the league. In 17 seasons in the NBA, Pippen holds career averages of 16.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.0 steals per game, according to NBC Chicago.
This came following the good news in court that Pippen received. A lawsuit has been dropped that alleged Pippen assaulted a man at a sushi restaurant in 2013. Pippen’s attorney, Mark Geragos, said Saturday that a countersuit Pippen filed against Camran Shafighi is also being dropped.
Geragos says he and Pippen are delighted the matter is over, and they had no intention of settling the case. Shafighi filed a $4 million lawsuit against Pippen, accusing him of a “brutal and unjustified physical attack” that allegedly occurred outside Malibu’s Nobu restaurant after Shafighi had sought a picture with the former NBA All-Star, according to FoxSports.
Los Angeles County prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence to bring assault charges against the 47-year-old Pippen.
