With his suit jacket draped over the back of his chair, Pippen noticed the matching looks. He decided to make a subtle statement to his teammates. Pippen told Wallace, “Oh man, you already know what mine is,” before casually showing him the inside of his jacket. It featured a custom Versace lining with “Scottie Pippen” stitched into the fabric.

Anthony immediately brushed off the fashion flex. He looked at his teammates and said, “Man, I ain’t gotta prove nothing to y’all.” Wallace realized the difference between the two garments. He joked that while Pippen’s suit was made in Italy, Anthony’s looked like a cheap one from a questionable location.
