The empire keeps building. When the Klutch Sports Group first began, they had a ton of doubters. However, bit by bit, they have built themselves into a massive empire, majorly thanks to LeBron James. Today, they represent a huge portion of the league and its players. But, their sights aren’t just on the NBA. Instead, their wings are now spreading to the collegiate level as well. And Klutch Sports may have grabbed one of the biggest names on the market.

While his elder brother didn’t pan out his NBA career to his father’s heights, Scottie Pippen‘s younger son has all the makings of a star. Now, he has the necessary backing too. In an Instagram post making the deal official, Klutch Sports revealed their newest signing – Justin Pippen. Throughout this season, Pippen has been impressing his parents and scouts alike.

While Bryce James, the younger son of LeBron James, is one of the biggest names at the level, Justin has won over everyone with his elite talent and skills. As a result, the announcement from the group headed by Rich Paul is not completely a surprise.

Earlier on in the season, he even turned Larsa Pippen into a big-time fan, cheering on her son on social media. However, during that game, it was his connection to his dad that came to the forefront.

Or, more accurately, the impact Scottie has had on the younger Pippen’s mentality and playstyle.

After a stellar outing, Pippen would display some of the team-first mindset that made his dad such an integral part of the Chicago Bulls dynasty. Crediting the “really hard” practice sessions, he gave them the benefit of his success.

Further, as for his inspiration and mentality, the credit was all for the 6x NBA Champion. “My dad has just taught me to stay aggressive and have a short-term memory…It’s always that next-play mentality, and I’ve really learned that from him and my brother [Scotty Pippen Jr.].”

The youngster already has offers from UC Santa Barbara, Stanford, and Texas A&M. With Klutch Sports at the helm, rest assured, the best course of action is coming soon for Justin. His is a career to keep an eye out for at the collegiate level next season.
