Scottie Pippen putting $6 million personal collection up for auction

[ASFN Admin]

More than 50 items worth an estimated $6 million-plus from Basketball Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen’s personal collection will be auctioned off by Sotheby’s in March. The items include game-worn jerseys, trophies, and even a pair of sneakers given to him by former teammate Michael Jordan. “Each jersey, sneaker, and collectible I’ve kept over the years holds a memory, a feeling, a story of perseverance and teamwork,” Pippen said via Sotheby’s press release on the auction. “Now, it feels like the right time to share these pieces and let others carry their stories forward. I’m excited to give fans and collectors the chance to own these special items, to connect with the history and memories they represent, and to experience a part of the journey I was lucky enough to live. I hope they bring the same kind of pride, joy, and love of the game that they’ve given me throughout my career.”
