Scottie Pippen and Sotheby’s are coming together to present “The Scottie Pippen Collection,” a landmark auction featuring iconic basketball memorabilia from the six-time NBA champion’s personal archives. Established as a cornerstone of the Chicago Bulls’ 1990s dynasty, Pippen is offering fans and collectors a rare chance to acquire pieces that defined his legacy, from championship-clinching uniforms to historic hardware from his Hall of Fame career.
The auction is headlined by a variety of high-stakes artifacts, most notably the game-worn jersey Pippen donned during the 1998 NBA Finals. This particular piece represents the final game of the Bulls’ “Last Dance” season, serving as a primary artifact of basketball history. Beyond his own gear, the collection surprisingly includes rare items obtained from teammates and rivals, such as a Larry Bird jersey from the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and a pair of Air Jordan VII sneakers worn by Michael Jordan during the same tournament.
Estimates for the collection suggest a total value exceeding $6 million USD. Notable lots include Pippen’s 1994 All-Star Game MVP trophy and replica NBA championship trophies. Technical highlights of the footwear selection include Pippen’s own signed Dream Team sneakers and various Nike Air Pippen models. The assembly of goods provides a comprehensive look at the evolution of basketball culture and the personal milestones of one of the game’s greatest defenders.
The Scottie Pippen Collection auction is scheduled to take place between March 2 and March 10, with select items on display at Sotheby’s New York headquarters.
