The two of us shared a love for basketball and we had countless conversations about the game.  "Antron suffered from chronic asthma and if he hadn’t had it, I truly believe he would've made it to the NBA. He never let that get him down, though—Antron stayed positive and worked hard, and I am so proud of the man that he became. Please keep his mom, Karen, and all of his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers. A kind heart and beautiful soul gone way too soon. I love you, son, rest easy until we meet again. " The post Former basketballer, Scottie Pippen's son, Antron, dies at 33 appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
