Scottie Pippen is officially a suspect in a felony assault with a deadly weapon investigation ... after allegedly knocking a man out in Malibu last night. TMZ broke the story ... 47-year-old Pippen was at Nobu when he got into a fight with a man outside the restaurant, and allegedly knocked him out cold with a punch to the face. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department tells us ... Pippen has since been named as a suspect in a report for assault with a deadly weapon -- the deadly weapon being his shoes. We're told Pippen repeatedly kicked the 50-something-year-old victim when he was down. As one source put it, "He beat the f*** out of him." According to witnesses, the fight started after the alleged victim approached Pippen for an autograph. We're told Pippen said no, and something happened to set off the fight. A family member of the alleged victim tells us, he was released from the hospital this morning with broken teeth, a swollen mouth, as well as back and head injuries. Pippen's attorney had no comment. FYI: Pippen was on the original Olympic Dream Team in '92 and retired as the Chicago Bulls' 2nd all-time leader in points, assists, and steals.

He'll be the basketball version of Burt Reynolds in The Longest Yard. Should've just signed the autograph, is what he's thinking today.
But he already had em beat. The guy was obviously looking for a fight when he went outide with pippen. He got his ass beat up. Not sure if that warrants a lawsuit just because pippen is rich, but he should be in jail since he hit a man while he was down. Also, i am surprised there is no video of the incident in this day and age.

well Pippen is 47 himself (crazy!) so this guy was 3 years older and watch him play throughout his career - could have been a big fan - doesnt sound too far fetched
