The president’s latest display of Bulls-backing bona fides? Sending a personalized handwritten note to Bulls legend Scottie Pippen for his 50th birthday:
Scottie —
Happy 50th Birthday, brother … hope you are well even if we all lose some vertical at this age!

The president was thoughtful enough to make sure he spelled Pippen’s first name right … which is more than we can say for Pippen’s legendary former running buddy when it came time for him to celebrate Obama’s 50th. Solid spell-checking, Mr. President.
I’m sorry to say that, unlike the commander-in-chief, I didn’t get you anything, Scottie. Here’s hoping you won’t mind me re-gifting this post saying I think you were kind of on the money about saying you were LeBron before LeBron. Enjoy the big day, sir.
