Before coming to Scotty Pippen Jr., Let's have a quick look at where he comes from. Why does his Surname hold such integrity? In the world of basketball, where legends are made and records are written, there's a name that's been consistently flippin' the script - 'Pippen The remarkable career of Scottie Pippen, who served as the Robin to Michael Jordan's Batman and made an enduring impact on the game, the Pippen name has an enduring significance in the world of basketball. It's really funny that basketball fans still discuss and argue over whether Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan were the game's greatest "one-two punch" because of their contributions to the sport.
Amid this legacy, we find Scotty Pippen Jr., one of eight Pippen siblings, embarking on his own basketball journey. While Scotty Jr. faced a lot of challenges in making a name for himself in the NBA, he also carried the weight of his father's legendary status but you know what he never disappointed his family. With the support of his siblings and the Pippen work ethic running through their veins, there's no telling how far he'll go. So let's take a closer look at Scotty Pippen Jr. and his siblings, ranking them from oldest to youngest.
8. Antron Pippen (December 29, 1987 – April 18, 2021)
The oldest Pippen child and son of Scottie Pippen and Karen McCollum, Antron Pippen, will therefore be our starting point.

Antron tragically passed away in 2021, leaving unanswered concerns concerning his demise.

Taylor Pippen, born to Scottie Pippen and Sonya Roby, is a multi-talented individual. She excelled as a brilliant volleyball player at Carmel Catholic School and Southern Illinois University thanks to her Hall of Fame father's physical abilities. Taylor has also built a successful career in financing, where she is currently working as a vice president and middle market banker at JPMorgan Chase. I personally think that she is doing great it's a social taboo that you can't do a normal job when you are a kid of any celebrity or sportsperson. Breaking all that taboo she is doing just great in her career. Through her Instagram, we can see Pippen navigating Chicago's social scene.
