<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are sending prayers to Scottie Pippen and his family after the retired NBA champ revealed his eldest son Antron has passed away at the age of 33.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Scottie broke the news Monday, sharing that his son died the day before.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m heartbroken to share that yesterday, I said goodbye to my firstborn son Antron,” Scottie began the heartfelt message. “The two of us shared a love for basketball and we had countless conversations about the game.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While Scottie did not reveal his son’s cause of death, he shared that Antron suffered from chronic asthma, but despite his illness, Scottie says he was a talented basketball player.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Antron played basketball at Texas A&;M International University. He also spent time hoopin’ at South Georgia Technical College, which paid tribute to Antron on Monday.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Antron suffered from chronic asthma and if he hadn’t had it, I truly believe he would’ve made it to the NBA,” Scottie said. “He never let that get him down, though&#8211;Antron stayed positive and worked hard, and I am so proud of the man that he became.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Antron was born to Scottie and his then wife Karen McCollum in 1987.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Please keep his mom, Karen, and all of his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers. A kind heart and beautiful soul gone way too soon. I love you, son, rest easy until we meet again,” Scottie ended the message.</span></p>
