While his ex-wife could be marrying into a former friend’s family, Scottie Pippen is escaping the drama to a sunny getaway. The six-time NBA champion was in Mexico looking like he was living his best life. It seems like nothing about his ex-wife and his ex-teammate could bother him on his exotic work trip. Instead, he’s focusing on the finer things and the partnerships that come along with it.
Pippen exuded all those vacation vibes on Instagram while giving an update on himself.

Thursday night’s game between the Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic was across the border in Mexico, where more than a few famous names were spotted in their vacation mode. Someone who made headlines seated courtside at the Arena Ciudad de Mexico was none other than Scottie Pippen. The former Chicago Bulls star was in Mexico City for work, which was not a drag.
The Pip was promoting Michelob ULTRA, the Anheuser-Busch-owned beer brand in Mexico City. The NBA game was one of the few events he was spotted at there. Other than his $1000 Givenchy hoodie, his sunny vibe was also noticeable.
He thanked the people who flew him out there while revealing his extended partnership with Michelob ULTRA. “Thank you Michelob Ultra for having me coming to Mexico City. Had a great time and looking forward to this longstanding relationship,” he said on his Instagram Stories ahead of his return to the USA.
He complemented it with a similar gratitude-filled statement in a separate post. “Thanks for having me in Mexico City @MichelobUltraMx #MichelobUltraMX was a great experience,” he wrote along with pictures of him sporting a special jersey by the brand and his NBA career number #33.

Pippen has been a favorite of Michelob ULTRA for years. He’s previously hosted events, including a virtual workout for the brand during the 2020 shutdown. Under their umbrella, the Pip has been instrumental as a global ambassador repping the NBA. He hinted that this partnership is going to remain “long-standing” with more to come from them.

Pippen is clearly unaffected by the goings-on back home regarding his ex-wife. Larsa Pippen has been hinting that she’s closer to a wedding with Michael Jordan’s son. That is far from Scottie’s mind, it appears.
