Go to the location /usr/local/bin and delete following files:

• pip
• pip2
• pip2.7
• Any other file with a prefix pip.

If you get permission error for any file e.g. pip2, change the permission using root user as chmod +x pip2.

Now, go to /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/ and delete all packages with prefix pip. Also delete from Library/Python/3/, if you've installed in python3 too.
