Fans can attend Scottie Pippen’s final dance at his Chicago residence.
The six-time NBA champion is charging $92 per night on Airbnb for his Highland Park estate to Olympic fans.
The price is a tribute to 1992, the year he and his teammates won gold medals at the Olympics in Barcelona.
On August 2, 4, or 6, fans will get the chance to spend three one-night stays, accommodating up to four individuals.
The timing of the stays allows guests to witness basketball tournaments all the way from the Tokyo gold and silver medal games to the group stage.
“I’m inviting basketball fans to my Chicago home to experience one of my career’s highlights—competing at the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992—in commemoration of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo 2020. I can’t wait for you to support the upcoming Olympians from my home court! On the website for property rentals, the previous Bull posted.

Pippen claims that the fortunate visitors will get to watch the Olympic games from his home theater, play one-on-one or a game of HORSE on his indoor basketball court, and take home souvenirs from some of Team USA’s 2020 Medal Stand Collection.
Along with playing in the arcade area and relaxing by the pool (which features an outside television on which you can broadcast the Olympic games), guests may also enjoy an indoor sauna after a game of hoops.
Pippen clarified that upon check-in, visitors will receive “a virtual greeting” from him.

“Fuel up with some of my preferred pre-game foods, including fresh fruits and veggies, or my usual dinner before a big game — steak, a baked potato and asparagus,” Pippen added.
Scottie Pippen offers his home through Airbnb at $92 per night to Olympic fans
Given that Airbnb is the official worldwide Olympic and Paralympic partner for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the listing is a part of an Airbnb promotion.
As a two-time Olympian, Pippen stated to the Chicago Tribune, “I wanted to really give fans the experience of what it would be like to watch the games from my home.” “I have a lovely pool and a basketball court. This was a chance to provide a fan with the authentic experience of watching the games from my house and spending the night in my bed.
The Olympics were expected to be held last summer, but due to the pandemic, the games have been pushed back to this summer.
