Pippen Jr. Calls Out Ham? Lakers Talk is Heating Up
Hold up, did Scottie Pippen Jr. just throw some shade at Lakers coach Darvin Ham? The rookie point guard, who just signed a two-way contract with the Lakers, has been making waves on social media.
Pippen Jr. has been posting snippets of his offseason training, showcasing some impressive ball-handling skills and a sweet shooting touch. Fans are buzzing about his potential, and even some Lakers players have been liking his posts. But it's one specific comment that has everyone talking.
Here's the lowdown: Pippen Jr. posted a video of himself nailing a step-back jumper, and in the caption he wrote, "Gotta keep working. The game is already calling my name." Some folks are interpreting this as a subtle jab at Ham, who has been notoriously slow to give playing time to young players.
So, is this just a coincidence or is Pippen Jr. really trying to send a message to his coach? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure, the Lakers locker room is already buzzing with excitement about this young talent.
Is Pippen Jr. Ready for the Big Time?
Pippen Jr. has the bloodline and the skills to make a serious impact in the NBA. He's got the drive, the athleticism, and the swagger to back up his words. But the Lakers have a stacked backcourt with veterans like Dennis Schroder and Patrick Beverley.
Will Ham give Pippen Jr. the chance to shine? Or will he be stuck on the bench, waiting for his chance to break through?
This is a story that will unfold throughout the season. We'll be watching closely to see if Pippen Jr. can make a name for himself in the NBA. And who knows, maybe he'll even earn a spot in the starting lineup, just like his famous father.
In the meantime, let's keep our fingers crossed and hope Pippen Jr. can live up to the hype.
