When it comes to parties, there’s no such thing as “too much” for Jay Gatsby and Memphis Grizzlies star Marcus Smart. So, whoever attends obviously needs to deck up. Numerous stars and basketball players descended at Smart’s special Great Gatsby-themed party including Scottie Pippen’s son Scotty Pippen Jr. Early in January this year, the player signed a two-way deal with the Grizzlies franchise. And he made a fashionable appearance at the Grizzlies’ guard Marcus Smart’s 30th birthday celebration party.

Following the lead of his mother Larsa Pippen’s great fashion sense, the 23-year-old went in for a dapper look with a brilliant striped suit. The grey and black tuxedo matched quite well with the theme of the party. The rest of the team, Brandon Clarke, Derrick Rose along with his wife Alaina Anderson, Vincent Williams Jr., and more were also in attendance clad in classic 1920’s looks. Alaina was seen flaunting elegant looks in a beige sequin dress which she paired with a faux fur coat. After all, no ’20s themed party is complete without sequins. Smart shared a few snaps from the party on his Instagram. Here is a glimpse.

The host and his wife were also seen dressed according to the theme. While birthday boy Marcus Smart wore a silver tuxedo, his wife Maisa Hallum wore a black flapper gown to sprinkle some extra shine. Scotty Pippen Jr. also managed to match the vibes and pull off a spectacular look. It seems the player is using both his parents’ skills to make his mark.

Channeling the same defense prowess and playing style as his father, he has been crucial for the franchise during the absence of Grizzlies’ star players. He is averaging 7.8 points per game in the NBA. Just 2 days ago, Pippen Jr. dropped 18 points and nabbed 4 steals in a win against the Spurs.

While off-court, he has his mother’s style and fashion sense to guide him. Over the years, Larsa has flaunted some of the best looks in the show, ‘The Real Housewives of Miami’. Just recently, the actress dazzled the fans with a black and red gown with roses embellished on it for the show’s reunion episode.
