Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen was seen sitting courtside for the NBA Mexico game between the Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic on Thursday night. Pippen was one of several former NBA players and Mexican celebrities inside Arena Ciudad de Mexico.
In the video below, Pippen can be seen wearing a $1,000 Givenchy Camo Print Cotton Fleece Hoodie. Givenchy is a luxury brand based in Paris, France. With an estimated net worth of $20 million, the $1,000 hoodie is perhaps just chump change for the six-time NBA champion.
Pippen was joined courtside by Mexican artists Peso Pluma and Danna Paola. Other former NBA players in the arena included Horacio Llamas, JJ Barea, Carlos Arroyo, Rashard Lewis and Dominique Wilkins.
Here's the video of Scottie Pippen during the Hawks-Magic game:
According to Esto MX, Scottie Pippen received plenty of cheers from the crowd when he was mentioned by the arena announcer. Pippen was among the most popular players when the NBA became recognized south of the border. He won six rings with Michael Jordan, who he now despises.
Scottie Pippen witnessed Atlanta beat Orlando in a thriller
The Atlanta Hawks came back from a double-digit fourth-quarter deficit on Thursday night to beat the Orlando Magic in front of thousands of Mexican fans. Scottie Pippen, Dominique Wilkins and other former NBA players witnessed Dejounte Murray hit the game-winning basket.
Paolo Banchero had a chance to get the win, but his 3-point shot from the elbow hit the rim hard like a brick. The Magic recovered the loose ball, but Trae Young secured it and threw it up to Murray as the clock expired to give the Hawks a thrilling 120-119 win.
Young ended with 41 points, five rebounds and eight assists, while Jalen Johnson had 19 points, nine rebounds and two assists. Jalen Suggs led the way for Orlando, scoring 21 points. Paolo Banchero struggled with his shot, finishing with just 17 points.
Bonzi Wells praises Scottie Pippen
With all the negative things surrounding Scottie Pippen and his ex-wife Larsa Pippen over the last year, it's perhaps surprising to see someone praise the Chicago Bulls legend.
Bonzi Wells, who was teammates with Pippen in Portland, had nothing but praise for his idol growing up in Indiana:
"In the neighborhood, everybody wanted to be like Mike," Wells told Underdog NBA.
"I just loved the way Scottie played, too, 'cause I couldn't do what Mike could do. ... I was just learning so much from him off the court and on the court just by being around him."
