Sierra Canyon’s budding guard Justin Pippen is showing all the signs of turning into his big brother and father. While he was a late bloomer, he has now become a wonderful scorer for his team. Further, his notable shooting and defense make him a two-way player just like his brother– Scotty Pippen Jr. However, now is the time for him to start looking for his next steps. Apparently, helping him in this quest is his father Scottie Pippen of the Chicago Bulls.
While Justin is busy bagging scores for his high-school career, Scottie just might be subbing in to test the waters for him. Recently, he was seen assessing USC’s gameplay in their last match against UCLA.

Scottie Pippen is hard to look over as the 6 ft 8 inches tall legend makes his way through the corridors. Apparently, fans spotted him alongside the dominant USC quarterback– Mark Sanchez– on the sidelines of USC vs UCLA. At the Galen Center, the two were cheering on for their home team. While Mark was there to fire up his university players, Scottie had another job. It is no news that Scottie Pippen’s son– Justin Pippen– is on his way to college next year.

Consequently, the six-time NBA champion is now checking out the team’s ability to get over their losing streak as a prospect for Justin. For now, Justin has not yet announced his university debut yet. However, he has been getting several offers from many prospective colleges like LSU, Georgia, and UC Berkeley. In the end, it will be his choice where he wishes to put his immaculate talents and grow as a basketball phenomenon.
Clearly, both Mark and Scottie were ecstatic to root for the Trojans as they tried to get an upper hand on the Bruins. Sadly, luck did not side with USC tonight.

USC fails again
While they had high hopes to end their losing streak tonight, the USC Trojans were only highly disappointed. The visiting team kept a lead over the Trojans from the very beginning and did not lose it till the end of the game. While there were some good performances from USC, it was simply not enough compared to the quickly moving Bruins. Tonight, the Trojans have played 20 games in total. Hence, it marks USC’s fifth consecutive loss in the total of 12 losses so far in the season.
The Trojans will next be playing against the Oregon Ducks who have been performing fairly this season. The Ducks are jumping back from their loss against the Arizona Wildcats. Nonetheless, it will be a tough competition for USC. Fans can only wait to see if they crawl out of their losing streak this time. Further, it will be notable to see if Scottie Pippen’s son Justin joins them in their next campaign.
