USC Basketball: Scottie Pippen Attends UCLA Game To Cheer On DJ Rodman, Trojans

With his old Chicago Bulls Hall of Fame teammate Dennis Rodman's son DJ starting for your USC Trojans, former Bulls Hall of Fame small forward Scottie Pippen was spotted courtside taking in tonight's (ongoing) matchup against the UCLA Bruins.

The 6'7" swingman has been sitting next to former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez and his family during the game.

Pippen's presence hasn't really helped. USC is trailing by double digits, 63-45, with 2:15 remaining. Maybe he could suit up and play a little D against Bruins standout guard Dylan Andrews?

The 6'6" DJ Rodman, meanwhile, earned the start at Pippen's old position today. A redshirt senior transfer out of Washington State, Rodman has currently scored just one point while splitting his two foul shots and missing his lone field goal try, but there's time yet for him to get on the board. Granted, it will be meaningless stat-stuffing, but we'll take it. He's also grabbed three rebounds, dished out one dime, blocked a shot and swiped one steal.
