Scottie Pippen has hopped on to the latest social media trend where people are sharing AI-generated ’90s high school yearbook photos.
“These A.I. pictures of me in high school are crazy.”
A nice little promotion of Husk Popcorn at the end there too by Pippen. Some of these pictures were really quite hilarious and it appears this was made possible by an app called EPIK – AI Photo Editor. It is really fascinating how far AI has gotten, and we have seen some rather interesting images get out in recent times.
AI showed what NBA players would look like if they were fat, and Shaquille O’Neal shared a video of himself, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and others as old men.
NBA Fans Reacted To Pippen’s AI-Generated Images
Pippen’s post quickly went viral, with NBA fans absolutely loving his pictures.
One was very complimentary of Pippen’s looks, “Handsome dude and best Chicago Bull of all time! No cap.”
A fan thinks Pippen looks like an ace student, “You look like you will pass any class with an A+ and put up a double-double any day of the week!”
One fan loved two images, in particular, “That second slide is really sending me… slide seven would have definitely had me waiting at his locker.”
A fan says this looks too real, “Bro, it looks too real.”
One fan really likes the picture with the cap and watch, “The pic with cap and watch is fire.’
As for what high school was like for Pippen, it was a mixed bag from a basketball standpoint. Pippen was too short and only made the team at Hamburg High School in his sophomore year. He did well when given the chance and earned All-Conference honors as a senior, but was just 6’1 when he graduated and received no college scholarships.
He eventually did find his way to the University of Central Arkansas and experienced a growth spurt there, growing to 6’8″. Pippen then became one of their best players and as a senior, averaged 23.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game. He would catch the eye of Chicago Bulls GM Jerry Krause, and the rest is history.
Scottie Pippen’s Bulls Career
Whatever you may think of Krause, he pulled off the trade that brought Pippen to the Bulls in 1987. It was an excellent move and laid the foundation for the tremendous success that Chicago would go on to have.
It didn’t take Pippen too long to find his footing in the NBA. By his third season, he was an All-Star and in his fourth, he won his first championship. With Michael Jordan leading the way, the Bulls would three-peat from 1991 to 1993.
Jordan then retired, which allowed Pippen to be the top dog. He certainly didn’t disappoint in 1993-94, averaging 22.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2.9 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game. The Bulls went 55-27, with Pippen finishing third in MVP voting.
The Bulls failed to win the title, though, but Jordan’s return a year later put them in position to return to the top. With Jordan and Pippen, the Bulls three-peated again from 1996 to 1998 to firmly establish themselves as one of the greatest dynasties ever.
Pippen departed after that but did return in 2003-04, in what was his last season in the NBA. All in all, he averaged 17.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.1 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game in his 12 seasons with the franchise.
