Before you even ask, yes, of course there’s a basketball court inside Scottie Pippen‘s home – and the rest of his sprawling Chicago mansion is a slam dunk too. The Bulls legend recently gave a tour of his home to Architectural Digest, so we can all peek inside, and there are so many epic details we need to discuss.
In a video on the magazine’s Youtube channel, Pippen takes us through the many rooms inside his white-brick home in the windy city. Starting from the entryway, it’s immediately obvious from the gold curtains, crystal chandelier, and high ceilings that this is a home designed and styled with lavish yet comfortable taste.
The former NBA player, whose time with the Chicago Bulls was recently documented on The Last Dance, bought the home in 2004, but now that he’s based in LA, this is more of a “vacation home.” Besides paying homage to his former team simply by its location, the house also holds plenty of Bulls memorabilia from some of Pippen’s championship trophies to framed jerseys to action figures. The house also includes a pool, sauna, and a wine cellar. Curious to see more? Keep reading for the full tour.

The tour starts in the dining room, and it’s very elegant! Pippen says he has a “lot of great memories at that table.”

The home of an NBA player wouldn’t be complete without a trophy case, right? In addition to six NBA championship titles, MVP trophies, and “a couple” ESPY awards, Pippen’s case also displays items his kids have earned – how sweet!

The living room is the next stop, or “the hangout room” as Pippen calls it, where he and his family watch NBA and NFL games.

Pippen’s kitchen feels modern and classic at the same time.

The white cabinets throughout the kitchen make it feel warm and inviting.

The kitchen opens up straight to the back patio where there’s not only a pool with a slide but a grill, a hot tub, a TV, and a gorgeous lawn. Talk about an ideal summer setup.

Another fun addition? This little greenery patch so he can chip balls into the backyard. Pippen joked about playing golf with former teammate Michael Jordan but never beating him because his “stakes are too high.”

The massive infinity pool overlooks an even bigger lawn.

Nothing like relaxing in a hot tub while watching TV, right?

The back patio has plenty of space for entertaining and lounging in the sun.

Pippen’s great room is what I imagine a palace looks like. There’s a piano, ornate furniture, an entire wall of windows, and a beautiful painting. He doesn’t spend much time here, calling it “a wasted room,” but if he ever needs someone to use that space, I’d be happy oblige!

Pippen’s basement includes a very Game of Thrones-esque wine cellar.

After wine, Pippen suggests taking a quick stroll down the hall straight to the movie theater, where he joked he would watch The Last Dance.

Next, he shows us the workout room, which includes a massage table.

Pippen describes this basement bathroom as “the fun room,” all because of the sauna. I’d say that’s an accurate description.

Who wouldn’t want a personal sauna in their home?

This room is a “fun area” for Pippen’s kids and their friends.

Pippen’s indoor basketball court includes a huge painting of his Bulls jersey and number on the floor as you enter.

The court was an addition he added to the house for his kids.

This tiger sits at the top of the stairs, but he used to keep it at the front door to prank guests! Now the big cat mainly watches over the backyard.

While showing us his son’s bedroom, Pippen couldn’t help but point out that his son is a Derrick Rose fan (peep the Derrick Rose figure on the bed). Don’t worry, though – his son has his dad’s jersey framed above his bed!

His daughter Sophia’s room is my childhood dream. The pink chandelier might be the cutest part!

Two of his younger boys share this blue room, and I’m personally loving all the symmetry.

This upstairs primary bedroom is “pretty simple” according to Pippen, but maybe simple is just another word for classy.

Of course Pippen needs a large bath – he’s 6’8″!

On the lower level of the house, there’s a second primary bedroom that overlooks the indoor basketball court. Pippen says he loves to get a “sneak peek” at his kids while they’re playing below.

And finally, a view of the outside of his property. If he ever needs someone to housesit while he’s in LA, count us in!
