Pippen Golf Ball Noggin'

September 23, 2005 7:39 PM

I am hoping that one of the Google-masters here can help me where I have failed. I am looking for an old photo of Scottie Pippen with a large swelling on his forehead. Approximately ten years ago, he bumped his head during a game and the bump swelled to the size of a golf-ball... sticking out of his forehead. Thanks in advance.

Oh man, I remember that game vividly. The only time I've ever been interested in sports was during Chicago's reign over the NBA.

Anyway, I think you'll have a tough time finding that image on any official websites. The NBA and Pippen's agent are more interested in attractive photos, you know? You might have better luck paying a visit to a library. Go through the Tribune sports sections of that era and see what you can come up with. It's almost certainly on microfilm somewhere.

Here you go, delmoi... if I hadn't read about it here, I would swear it was photoshopped in.

That happened to my sister when we were little kids. I was riding her around on the handle bars of my bike (forbidden!) and she fell off. I ran home and told my mom that my sister's brains were falling out.
