Antron Pippen, son of Bulls legend Scottie Pippen, dies at 33

Scottie Pippen revealed some tough news on Monday, announcing via social media that his firstborn son, Antron, died. He was only 33. 

Pippen did not reveal the cause of his son's death.

Antron was born in 1987 to Karen McCollum, who married Pippen in 1988. They split in 1990. 

He was a solid basketball player and spent time at Texas A&M International University and South Georgia Technical College. If it weren't for his medical condition, Scottie Pippen believes his son could have made it to the NBA.
