Scotty Pippen Jr. shared a thoughtful post on Instagram following his stellar performance in the Memphis Grizzlies' 142-131 victory over the Chicago Bulls at the United Center on Saturday.

The Grizzlies point guard showcased his all-around brilliance against the Eastern Conference team, finishing with 30 points, 10 assists and two rebounds. He was incredibly efficient, shooting 13 of 16 from the field, including 3 of 6 from beyond the arc.
After making headlines with his standout performance, the young guard shared a post on Instagram and paired with a succinct and meaningful caption.
"Work in silence and let your success be the noise," Pippen Jr. wrote.
Pippen Jr.’s mother, Larsa Pippen, and teammate Ja Morant were among the many who reacted to his Instagram post. Larsa expressed her pride with three heart emojis in the comments, while Morant also shared his feelings through emojis.
Meanwhile, Scottie Pippen, the six-time NBA champion with the Chicago Bulls and father of the Grizzlies’ point guard, echoed his son’s Instagram caption by sharing the same line on X (formerly Twitter).
