Born November 10, 2000, in Portland, Oregon, Scotty Jr. Pippen is the first son of Scottie Pippen and Larsa Pippen. Like his dad, Scotty Pippen Jr. joined the sports industry and became a basketball player. Interestingly, he isn't the only athletic one among his siblings.

Some of Scotty Pippen Jr.'s siblings also excelled in sports. However, he is the only one who made it to the NBA after playing for Sierra Canyon High School and Vanderbilt University.

Three of Scotty Pippen Jr.'s Siblings Have Different Mothers

Of Scotty Pippen Jr.'s seven siblings, three were born to different mothers, including Antron Pippen, Taylor Pippen, Tyler Pippen, and Sierra Pippen. Nevertheless, they are bonded through their father.

Through the years and after tragic losses, the Pippen siblings' father learned to take every opportunity to show his kids love and affection. He said:

"You never know when the last time you may see them again. That's never something that you can predict."

Scottie tries to inspire his children to put in the effort to achieve their dreams, no matter how difficult it may seem. Besides working hard, he hopes his children believe in themselves more than anyone else. Fortunately, this has reflected on Scotty Jr.'s career.

Antron Pippen

Antron is Scotty Jr.'s eldest sibling, born to a different mom, Karen McCollum, on December 29, 1987. Karen and Scottie tied the knot the following year but separated in 1990. Growing up, Antron lived with his mother near Scottie's home.

Antron followed in his father's footsteps and played for South Georgia Technical College, Texas A&M International, and the World Basketball Association.

Naturally, Antron was often compared to his dad. However, he learned to drown out the noise and focus on his progress on the court. Although athletic, Antron suffered from chronic asthma, which sometimes became a hurdle in his athletic career.

Sadly, he passed away on April 19, 2021, at 33. At that time, Scottie shared an emotional Instagram tribute to his firstborn. "Antron suffered from chronic asthma, and if he hadn't had it, I truly believe he would've made it to the NBA," he said.

Taylor Pippen

On July 20, 1994, Scottie welcomed Taylor with his ex-girlfriend, Sonya Roby. Although Taylor's mother had full custody, her father financially supported her. However, he initially denied paternity.

In 2016, Taylor revealed that she didn't have much of a relationship with her dad. She claimed Scottie never wanted to meet her and that she chose not to dwell on it. Fortunately, she has a good relationship with her mother and sometimes posts about Sonya on Instagram.

Like her older brother, Antron, Taylor is a gifted athlete. She played for the Southern Illinois University's volleyball team before playing professionally in Spain. Taylor then focused on building her name in finance.

Since October 2021, she has worked as JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s vice president middle market banker. Previously, she worked as Wintrust Commercial Banking's assistant vice president.

Tyler Pippen

Tyler is Taylor's twin, born on July 20, 1994. Sadly, Tyler died in the hospital after Sonya gave birth to her. Scottie hasn't talked about his daughter's death since.

Sierra Pippen

Born on February 17, 1995, Sierra is Scotty Jr.'s half-sister. She was born to Scottie and his then-partner, Yvette Deleone. Through her mother, an insurance underwriter, and Northwestern University alumni, Sierra has South American ancestry.

Sierra's father initially denied paternity. However, after Yvette filed a paternity suit, he assumed a dad's responsibility. Scottie supported Sierra financially and had a civil relationship with her mother.

Although she keeps her personal life under wraps, it is known that Sierra had her education at the University of Iowa. She also had a good relationship with her brother, Antron, and dedicated a touching post in light of his passing.

In 2015, Sierra made headlines for urinating in the Sheraton Inn, Iowa's hotel lobby. According to reports, she entered the hotel premises, relieved herself on the floor, and left. She was later found in a nearby walkway, reeking of alcohol. Sierra was arrested following the incident.

Preston Pippen

Preston Pippen is Scotty Jr.'s first full brother and the second child of Scottie and Larsa. Born on August 26, 2002, Preston was named after Scottie's late father and has Lebanese and Syrian ancestry.

Like his brothers, Preston also played basketball at Sierra Canyon High School alongside LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal's sons. Besides his athletic career, Preston enjoys living away from the spotlight but sometimes shares posts on social media.

He graduated from high school in 2021 and marked the milestone with an Instagram post. However, not much is known about Preston's plans for the future. Many anticipate his professional basketball career, while some think he may pursue a career in the entertainment industry after appearing in "The Real Housewives of Miami."

Justin Pippen

Justin Pippen, born on July 11, 2005, is Scottie and Larsa's third child together. Like his older siblings, Justin plays basketball at Sierra Canyon. In addition, he joined the Stockton Soldiers in the Amateur Athletic Union.
