NBA fans react as Scottie Pippen's son Scotty Pippen Jr . has career night in Chicago - "Revenge on the Bulls for his dad's contract" 

Scottie Pippen's son Scotty Pippen Jr. created a memorable moment after dropping a career-high against the Chicago Bulls, where his father helped hang six championship banners. Pippen Jr. made his eighth start of the season after Ja Morant remained sidelined. The third-year guard made it count, tallying 30 points in a 142-131 win.

He added 10 assists and two rebounds while shooting an efficient 13 of 17, including 3 of 6 from deep. It was his fifth double-double of the year in 17 games. Pippen Jr.'s massive effort had everyone mentioning his relationship with the Bulls because of his father.

One fan reacted by saying Pippen Jr. was getting revenge for Scottie Pippen's underpaid contract with his career night.

"Scotty Pippen Jr out here getting revenge on the Bulls for his dad's contract..."

One fan threw shade at Michael Jordan's sons:

"Scotty Pippen’s son turns out better than Jorbum’s sons. Shows you how much MJ was carried back in the day"

"like father like son," another said.

One fan made a huge claim saying Scotty is better than Scottie:

"Better than his dad trust"

"Pippen legacy in full effect," said another.

"When talent beats nepotism," one fan wrote.

Scotty Pippen Jr. pays tribute to his dad Scottie Pippen

After Scotty Pippen Jr.'s special night on the Bulls' home floor, the Grizzlies guard paid tribute to his legendary father, Scottie Pippen, whose name is in the rafters.

"Definitely a special place to play, seeing my dad's name up here," Pippen Jr. said after the game. "I dreamed of this moment. It's a dream come true to finally be able to play here."

Beyond just having a career night, Scotty also matched one of his father's many records at the United Center after becoming the second player after him to score at least 25 points on 80.0% shooting and dishing out at least eight assists. Scottie achieved the feat in 1995.

Scottie Pippen was one of the key architects of the Bulls' win and arguably the best No. 2 option on a dynasty team. There are not many who have complimented a superstar player like the six-time champion did with Michael Jordan.
