Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen used to spend a lot of time together, hanging out and being awesome at basketball with the Bulls in the 1990’s, but since then they have not been able to see each other as frequently. It seems that the bond they formed while winning six NBA championships has not lessened though.

During Sunday’s Hornets-Heat Game 7, Jordan got a visit in his owner’s suite from his longtime partner, and cameras caught the magical moment.
