The son of basketball legend Scottie Pippen was ejected from an NBA game in Miami on Saturday night after launching a furious attack over a perceived cheap shot. Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. was knocked to the hardwood by Heat forward Myron Gardner after taking a late 3-pointer in Miami's 134-113 win. Pippen initially looked like he was just going to holler at Gardner as he charged in with his index finger pointed at the 24-year-old journeyman. 'I wouldn't consider it wrestling,' Scotty told reporters in the Grizzlies locker room after the loss. 'He kind of hit me from where I didn't see him, so I thought it was a soft move,' Scotty said.
