NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen was questioned by authorities on Monday in relation to a fight with an autograph seeker that happened in Malibu, Calif., reports TMZ.com.
The report states that Pippen turned himself in to authorities in Malibu and the police decided against arresting Pippen after speaking with him.
Pippen, 47, was a seven-time NBA All-Star in 17 seasons with the Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets, and Portland Trail Blazers. He won six NBA titles with the Bulls.

Already I have seen a report the autograph seeker called him the “N” word. Whether true or not, look for THAT to be the media focus....and the assault, if it happened, will be excused by the media. He IS Scottie Pippen, after all.
Not enough info to form an opinion.
Some years ago Charles Barkley tossed a man through a restaurant window. It sounded like that guy deserved it after the situation was reviewed.
I remember when every member of the Chicago Bulls autographed a basketball for a wheel chair bound boy, every member except Pippen that is. He refused saying that he did not give his autograph for free.
