Basketball great Scottie Pippen may be known as one of the players who led the Chicago Bulls to multiple NBA championships, but these days, he’d like to reintroduce himself to the world in a completely other way. Namely, as a whiskey maker.
The back story Basketball great Scottie Pippen may be known as one of the players who led the Chicago Bulls to multiple NBA championships — that is, other than his even more famous teammate, Michael Jordan. But these days, he’d like to reintroduce himself to the world in a completely other way.Pippen, who retired from the game after 17 seasons in 2004, has joined forces with Savage & Cooke, an up-and-coming California distillery, on a newly released bourbon called Digits.
Digits emerged over a lengthy dinner conversation between Pippen, a bourbon aficionado, and Savage & Cooke founder Dave Phinney, who had a previous background as a winemaker . As the story goes, Phinney was intrigued by the idea of a bourbon partnership, but wanted to make sure the basketball star would commit to getting behind the brand and promoting it.
Pippen is also busy these days on other fronts. He’s got an autobiography, “Unguarded,” coming out and he is behind Husk, a line of gourmet popcorn. But is there any documentary about Pippen in the future, a la Michael Jordan’s “Last Dance”? Pippen doesn’t rule it out. “There’s still a lot of footage that was collected back in my playing days,” he says.
