NBA legend Jordan made a huge gesture towards a teammate, by giving him a $331,000 supercar for a Christmas present.
:"For the Christmas of '97, Pippen had an earring made for Jordan - a diamond-encrusted replica of the NBA championship trophy.
"Jordan, who had planned to give Pippen a box of cigars, reconsidered and instead gave him his red Ferrari, which Pippen had long admired. 'He wanted it so bad,' said Jordan."It wasn't a double locker, but it would do."At the time, Jordan's Ferrari was worth around $170,000 and that's increased to $331,000 in modern money.
Despite the generosity from Jordan, Pippen seems to have never considered him a close friend off the court. "Michael was bigger than the game, you know. Even my initial arrival to Chicago he was a big, iconic figure for the NBA. So, we never really had that off the court relationship," Pippen told GQ per"Our relationship between the lines was impeccable. We pushed each other to be great. We trained with each other to be the best. So, everything we did, from a basketball standpoint, it was a high level of respect there that we knew we could be the best."We could be dominant.
