NBA legend Scottie Pippen is sadly morning the loss of his oldest son, Antron.

The former Chicago Bulls star explained,
“Antron suffered from chronic asthma and if he hadn’t had it, I truly believe he would’ve made it to the NBA. 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.”
He ended by asking for prayers for Antron’s mother, Karen. 
“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”
