Former NBA star Scottie Pippen announced that his first-born son, Antron, has died. He was 33 years old.
"I’m heartbroken to share that yesterday, I said goodbye to my firstborn son Antron," Pippen wrote. "The two of us shared a love for basketball and we had countless conversations about the game. Antron suffered from chronic asthma and if he hadn’t had it, I truly believe he would've made it to the NBA. He never let that get him down, though—Antron stayed positive and worked hard, and I am so proud of the man that he became."
Pippen did not disclose his son's cause of death but asked for support during this time for his family.
