PHOTOS: Larsa Pippen celebrates son Preston Pippen's birthday with a series of throwback images

Larsa Pippen celebrated his son Preston's birthday on Monday by sharing a bunch of throwback images. Preston turned 22, so his mother reminisced and contemplated how time flies. He was named after Scottie Pippen's father, who passed away in 1990.

In a post on Instagram, Larsa wished her second-eldest son a happy birthday. She initially posted an image of herself with Preston at their home. She followed it up with several throwback images from when Preston was still a young teen, along with his siblings Scotty Jr., Sophia and Justin.

"Hbd my love @prestonpippen. I'm so proud of the young man you've become," Larsa wrote.

Preston Pippen was born on Aug. 26, 2002, in Portland when his father Scottie was still playing for the Trail Blazers. He grew up in California and went to Sierra Canyon High School, where he played basketball. However, he didn't pursue the sport professionally unlike his older brother Scotty Jr.

Their younger brother Justin also played high school basketball at Sierra Canyon and will be attending the University of Michigan. Scotty Jr. is signed to the Memphis Grizzlies and averaged 12.9 points in 21 games last season.

Charles Barkley comments on Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen's relationship

One of the most talked-about relationships over the past year was Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen. Charles Barkley was recently asked about it in an appearance on Shannon Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" podcast.

Barkley felt sorry for those involved and said:

"I feel bad for Michael; I feel bad for Scottie. That is so messy. I don't like messy because when it's messy, everybody has an opinion on it. Everybody has an opinion, and you know the internet is not a place for messy. And you have to understand that there's a lot of kids involved, and people are mean. It's unfortunate.

"I feel bad for everybody involved because I see all the pictures, I don't do the comment stuff, but I know they gonna be mean. I just hate mess, and it's just really messy. There are no winners — there's only losers, because Michael and Scottie's relationship can never be the same."

Nevertheless, the relationship appears to be over, and Larsa Pippen is single. She turned 50 years old in July and has been busy taking a lot of vacations since then.
