Scottie, Larsa Pippen Battle Royale Over Fortune & Prenup
Scottie Pippen and wife Larsa are in a dogfight over their reported $50 million fortune ... this according to divorce docs obtained by TMZ Sports.
Scottie and Larsa agree on one thing ... they both signed a prenup in 1997, which clearly benefits Scottie. Larsa says the prenup went out the window one year ago this month, when both she and Scottie agreed to nullify it.
There are other conflicts ... Scottie wants to move their 4 kids from Florida to Chicago. She wants them to stay put.
And Larsa wants spousal support, the family home, tuition for their kids' private schools and other stuff.
Larsa is so worried Scottie won't pay her after the divorce, she wants to use his life insurance policy as collateral in case he doesn't write the checks. If he doesn't, she wants to cash in the policy to get her money.
Larsa Pippen 2nd 911 Call ... Help, Scottie's Breaking Stuff!
Larsa Pippen made a tearful 911 call -- just 3 days after she placed a very similar call to police -- and said Scottie had "gotten crazy again."
The NBA legend's wife called Fort Lauderdale PD on Oct. 4, and this time she was more defiant and insisted police come to their home because he was breaking things.
As we reported ... her first 911 call was made as Scottie stood next to Larsa, telling her to cancel the call for help. The second time around, Larsa is by herself, crying and providing details about the alleged incident.

The two had been dating since last summer -- months after she split with Leonardo DiCaprio -- and they seemed to be getting pretty serious as of late.

DeAndre Jordan says R&B singer Sevyn Streeter should diss the 76ers the same way they dissed her ... and REJECT their offer of a do-over-make-good performance of the National Anthem.
You know the story ... the Sixers put the kibosh on Streeter's opening night anthem performance because the singer was wearing a shirt that read "We Matter."
Players on the roster were none too pleased about the decision, and the organization has since apologized to Sevyn and offered her an opportunity to sing again whenever she wants.
We got DJ leaving a Halloween party out in L.A. Monday night and asked him the question everyone wants to know about the situation ... should Streeter take the mulligan?
Check out the clip -- it's clear Jordan thinks Sevyn should make a loud statement ... by not singing a single note ... and he seems pretty certain of it.
