Old men got time in.

Watching Portland screw Boston into the ground tonight, and who is still mixing it up but Scottie Pippen.

You remember Scottie. Lots of people said he was just carried around by Jordan when the Bulls were having their way with the league. I don't know if I buy that, because Scottie is still doign the same things he did before. He made one of the best 3/4 court passes I've ever seen, and didn't even look like he was trying.

I think he has become a better player as an old player than he might have been as a hot tempered young player with something to prove.

Strange how these things work out. He really looks relaxed, settled right into the game, and knows exactly what is happening on the court. It's fun to watch and old player come into his own at the end of his career.
