Scottie Pippen transitions to farming and crypto art

Scottie Pippen, a former NBA star, has taken an unusual path since retiring from basketball. The 59-year-old won six championships with the Chicago Bulls during the 1990s. He played alongside Michael Jordan and was an important part of the team. Pippen is recognized as one of the NBA's greatest players, despite being tied to a low contract for much of his career. He earned around $110 million from basketball. After leaving the Bulls, he played for the Houston Rockets and the Portland Trail Blazers before eventually returning to Chicago to finish his career. After retiring, Pippen purchased a livestock farm in Arkansas with his brother. He has worked on the farm and even faced challenges, such as dealing with a robbery of two expensive tractors in 2018. In addition to farming, Pippen has worked as a basketball analyst for ESPN. Recently, he has shown interest in cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. He gained attention by sharing an AI-generated image of Elon Musk in a Bulls jersey and discussing crypto projects online. Pippen's son, Scotty Pippen Jr., is also making his mark in the NBA. After going undrafted in 2022, he signed with the Los Angeles Lakers before moving to the Memphis Grizzlies. He is now playing regularly and contributing to his team.
