Bulls: Scottie Pippen receives hand-written card from President Obama for 50th birthday

Scottie Pippen got a pretty solid gift for his 50th birthday on Wednesday.

The Bulls legend received a hand-written birthday card from President Barack Obama, who has never kept his Bulls fandom a secret.

The card reads: "Happy 50th Birthday, brother ... hope you are well even if we all lose some vertical at this age!"

Obama sat courtside during the Bulls' season opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers last week at the United Center.
