Basketball fans have the chance to take their watch party to the next level as Team USA competes in Tokyo, all thanks to former NBA star Scottie Pippen. 

With the help of Airbnb, Pippen is opening up his home for three nights in August to help celebrate Tokyo 2020. Booking for the three nights – August 2, 4 and 6 – opens July 22 at 1 p.m. ET. The cost is $92 -- a homage to Pippen's appearance at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Up to four guests are allowed and travel costs are not included.

The Highland Park, Illinois home features an indoor basketball court, movie theater, arcade room, sauna and outdoor pool, all of which are open for guests to use. There will also be a variety of Pippen's favorite pre-game foods available, and an opportunity to experience his preferred dinner before a big game: steak, a baked potato and asparagus. Olympic memorabilia will be on display throughout the house, with items from Team USA's Medal Stand Collection available for guests to take with them as souvenirs. 

Pippen will virtually greet guests upon arrival as a welcome to the home.

At the 1992 Olympics, Pippen was a member of the gold-winning Dream Team. He led the team in assists with 47 across eight games. The U.S. beat Croatia 117-85 in the gold-medal game. Pippen was also a member of the 1996 Olympic team, which also won gold.
