Over the weekend, one of the best players in the history of the NBA celebrated his 50th birthday. Bulls legend Scottie Pippen celebrated his birthday in style with plenty of stars and one impressive gift.

Pippen and his wife posted a number of pictures from the weekend party. Included in the festivities were the likes of rapper Fat Joe, singer Jeremih and former teammate Dennis Rodman.

Also in attendance was a special guest, Michael Jordan. Well, Michael B. Jordan, the actor, that is.

The real star of the night, however, was the flashy watch given to Pippen by the CEO of Hublot. The Hall of Fame basketball player received a Hublot watch worth reportedly $70,000, according to TMZ.

The watch included over 100 diamonds and a picture of Pippen in his No. 33 Bulls jersey on the back.

Pippen, who is now an ambassador for the Bulls, will likely be showing off that watch all season long as he sits courtside for the coming season.
