The youngest son of Scottie is (no surprise here!) also playing basketball at Sierra Canyon. He also appears to be particularly close to both his parents as well as his older brother. Some of his close friends (and teammates) include Shaquille O'Neal's sons Shareef and Shaqir, and LeBron James' son LeBron Jr., Bronny. He's currently a recruit of the 2021 class at Sierra Canyon High School, where he plays basketball in the guard position. Like his older brother, 18-year-old Preston is making some major moves on the court and has an all-star friend group. He's supported Scotty by showing up to his games as well. His father posts pictures and videos of Scotty and his three younger siblings, including video of them exercising and family photos. Before that, he was playing high school basketball at Sierra Canyon in Los Angeles, where the Los Angeles Times named him to the All-Area Team. In a not-so-surprising discovery, he's making a name for himself playing college basketball for Vanderbilt. The oldest of his four children with his estranged wife Larsa Pippen, Scotty Pippen Jr. was born on November 10, 2000. In a tribute after Kobe Bryant passed away, she said, "I didn’t have the luxury of enjoying The Bulls during the '90s so Kobe Bryant was my Michael Jordan." She also regularly posts pictures of her mother, with whom she seems to be very close. According to her Instagram, she's an artist consultant for UnitedMasters. She reportedly was arrested at the same place two weeks earlier for getting into a fight with hotel staff. Sierra went to college at the University of Iowa, and was charged with public urination and intoxication after being arrested at the Sheraton Hotel near the Iowa campus. The pair lived together for a while, but ended up separating after a domestic violence incident in which Pippen was arrested, according to the Chicago Tribune. Mother and Scottie's ex-girlfriend, Yvette Deleone, took him to court to prove he was the father. Sierra Pippen was born on February 17, 1995, and faced a similar situation as Taylor. But what about his other three kids? And what do the family members have to say about their very famous father? Pippen's been married twice and is currently estranged from his current wife Larsa Pippen-they've filed for divorce twice, and the 2018 filing is apparently still active-but according to their Instagrams, they both are very involved in their four children's lives. Pippen in particular sparked my interest, because he participated in the docuseries but is reportedly unhappy about how it turned out. Now retired, the NBA all-star is a father to seven children, and while some of them are following in the footsteps of their father (shocker!), many of the others are doing equally cool things. As we learn more about that magical 1997-8 Chicago Bulls championship season from Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen, and more via the ESPN docuseries The Last Dance, I couldn't help but wonder what the lives of some of basketball's most iconic stars, and their families, are like now.
