- Scottie Pippen is dealing with something no father should ever have to endure - the death of his firstborn son.
- The NBA legend shared the tragic news on social media that his son Antron had died at the age of 33.
- Pippen said Antron suffered from chronic asthma that kept him from having an NBA career of his own.
- He wrote: "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's second-oldest son, Scotty Pippen Jr., is heading for the NBA next season after declaring for the draft last week.
