A New Low: Scotty Pippen Jr. Is Talking Shit About Darvin Ham, Basically Blamed Him The Bucks Losing And Dame Lillard Getting Shut Down

Little backstory here - Scotty Pippen Jr. was once on the Lakers. Makes sense as they have a thing with taking son's of All-NBA players. That obviously didn't work out since Pippen Jr. is no longer on the Lakers, now on the Grizzlies. It's not like Pippen was some incredible prospect either. Undrafted, G League guy who was on a two-way with the Lakers before being let go. Hell, even now he was originally signed on a two-way deal with the Grizzlies before it got converted to a regular contract. 

At the same time Darvin Ham was fired. Duh. We all knew that. He's an assistant coach for the Bucks and things aren't going great there. Rumors of Giannis leaving at some point, they keep losing and Damian Lillard sucked last night. A lot of the credit there went to Pippen's defense, sounds familiar. So what does Scotty Pippen do? 

Immediately blame Darvin Ham for not believing in him. Look, if you have a guy like Pippen taking shots at Darvin Ham (like basically every other Laker to play) you've hit a new low. I  know everyone likes to take things personal. It's a little obnoxious at this point. Not everything has to be bulletin board material or shots, but this is direct. This is not a ricochet shot. This is Scotty Pippen Jr. saying he saw Darvin Ham and decided it was time to take matters into his own hands. At least Doc Rivers has the team together in Milwaukee. No problems there.
