Scottie Pippen is NBA royalty, who majorly contributed to the Chicago Bulls’ two iconic ‘three-peats’ in the 1990s. Standing at a towering 6 foot 8 inches tall, he was a double-threat kind of player. He could score the basket extremely well and also be an absolute nightmare for the opposite team in defense.

In recent news, the Chicago Bulls legend was spotted attending an elite high school basketball circuit. Taking place in Malcolm X College this year, 28 elite teams from all over the country and Canada, including the prestigious ‘Chi Prep Academy’, were invited. “The Grind Session” is one of the best ways to spot promising basketball talent early and invest in that player’s success.

Scottie Pippen Attends Elite High School Basketball Circuit

In a news interview reported by “FOX 32 Chicago”, the journalist asks Pippen, “Scottie what does it mean to be back in Chicago and watching this young group of talent?” The 6x NBA champion smiles as he replies, “It means the world…brings back a lot of memories, and to have an opportunity to watch these young players start their dreams.”

Scottie Pippen further talks about the hard work that these high schoolers have put in to get to this point. “The Grind Session” is the winter circuit where some of the best high school basketball talent in North America are invited to play against each other. 

Scottie Pippen, who is a current resident of L.A., flew down to Chicago for this winter circuit. He said, “It’s going to be an exciting weekend, these players have worked very hard to get here,” which is bound to inspire the young players even more. However, Pippen, who is known for his basketball legacy, has recently been in the news for all the wrong reasons yet again.

Pippen’s Ex-Wife’s Stirring Comments

Despite being divorced for over 2 years now, Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife, Larsa Pippen, still goes by ‘Pippen’ as her last name. Larsa Pippen had mentioned in a podcast episode of “Pablo Torre Finds Out” that the only reason she kept the last name was for her children (with Scottie Pippen).

She stated that since all her children have Pippen in their names, she wanted to feel connected to them. Another reason was that since she had the Pippen name for so long, her brands were also recognized based on her last name.

However, she does mention in the same podcast that when she gets married to Marcus (Michael Jordan’s son), she will change her last name from Pippen to Jordan and that their potential children will also carry the Jordan name. However, one does not know how Michael Jordan will take this, since he has publicly disapproved of Marcus and Larsa’s relationship.
