Scottie Pippen Jr now has to live under the shadow of a person like his father who always went under Michael Jordan’s shadow as he now has to play with Malik Beasley, who just so happens to have dated Larsa Pippen at one point in time
That is not at all a desirable circumstance.
Whatever you may think of the NBA, it is undeniable that the league has an incredible knack for creating drama. Can you believe a man being traded to a team with his ex-girlfriend’s son? It is uncertain if anything similar has ever occurred in the NBA.
The Los Angeles Lakers’ acquisition of Malik Beasley in the historic three-team transaction involving Russell Westbrook and D’Angelo Russell has NBA fans in a frenzy. Scotty Pippen Jr. plays for the Purple and Gold, and Beasley briefly dated Larsa Pippen, Scotty Pippen Jr.’s mother.

Mama Pippen and Beasley were seen walking hand in hand at Miami Beach back in 2020. Beasley was a married man at the time, which made everything much more complicated. While Scottie Pippen Jr. appeared to address the subject on Twitter, Beasley’s wife filed for divorce.
Focused on myself and my goals. I’m not responsible for nobody’s actions. All good over here.🤞

The dressing room might be awkward for the Lakers!
This is going to be a very unpleasant scenario in the Lakers locker room, as you might anticipate. In fact, it was so embarrassing that Shannon Sharpe said Pippen, who is signed to a two-way contract with LA, should ask to be traded before the NBA trade deadline on Thursday’s Skip And Shanon: Undisputed. Sharpe declared, “If I were Scottie Pippen Jr., I’d want a trade. Malik Beasley is joining my team; I must leave.”

It’s difficult to hold NBA Twitter responsible for all the responses that surfaced. Given everything that occurred, the scenario is genuinely bizarre. Despite their denials, just picture how embarrassing it might be for both players.
