NBA legend Scottie Pippen is fine with the NBA using a ‘snitch hotline’ to report violations in Orlando bubble. According to the six-time NBA champion, the safety of the people involved is the most important.

“I’m okay with that. I don’t per say that players are gonna be sort of calling each other out. But I think they want to make sure that everybody is safe. So with that being said, you need everybody eyes and ears working to make sure they keep that bubble safe. Because one outbreak could cost them the whole season. There’s a lot riding on this. I totally get it. So if you see something you don’t like, report it, please,” Pippen said on ESPN’s The Jump.

Meanwhile, Rudy Gobert, whose positive coronavirus test resulted in the NBA shutting down the season, called the hotline ‘petty’.
