From illustrious names in the game, such as Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd, to musicians like Travis Scott and Lil Yachty, the turnout for the event was star-studded. One of the young stars on show was Scottie Pippen and Larsa Pippen’s 18-year-old son, Justin, who was showered with love by his mother on Instagram.
