Michael Jordan does not give his blessing to his son’s relationship. This was revealed by the NBA legend in response to a question from an ambush photographer, who apparently fails to accept that his second son, Marcus, was involved in a romance with Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of his father’s old teammate and future rival Scottie Pippen. The 32-year-old and the 48-year-old mother of four have been together for months.
The six-time NBA winner revealed his thoughts on his son’s relationship with Pippen in response to a question from an ambush photographer on Sunday. She was caught in Paris after having dinner with her sweetheart. Jordan laughed first, then said briefly:
No.
Which suggests that the NBA champion basketball player cannot get over past grievances.
Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, two stars of the Chicago Bulls basketball team of the eighties and nineties, haven’t spoken to each other since The Last Dance miniseries, which is why many people find it absurd that Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen found each other. The athletes’ relationship deteriorated because Jordan insisted that the Bulls’ six championships were solely due to him, and Pippen was very upset about that. Jordan alone is responsible for basketball’s degeneration, he said.
Pippen and his ex-wife Larsa, 48, were a couple for more than two decades and have four children together.
