Scotty Pippen Jr: I feel like the name might have hurt me more than it helped me

“So coming up and sort of growing up, was that difficult? Like how were you able to sort of find your own lane and stick to that?” Scotty Pippen Jr: “Yeah, I think it’s difficult just because people just put, you know, a perspective on you on how they think you move and how they think you act just because of your dad. You know, I feel like we’re seeing it with Deion Sanders and his son and then, you know, LeBron and Bronnie. Um, for me, I feel like it was tough just because I feel like I wasn’t given fair treatment. People kind of just overlooked me because of my dad. I feel like the name might have hurt me more than it helped me sometimes, and it’s unfair for us, but at the end of the day, I feel like we’re all — the three, you know, kids you named — are doing well.”
