Michael Jordan Gets Brutally Honest on Son's Relationship with Larsa Pippen
Michael Jordan finally broke his silence regarding the relationship between his son, Marcus Jordan, and Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of his former teammate, Scottie Pippen. It is safe to say that he is not very happy about it.
While Pippen and Jordan had a legendary partnership on and off the court, winning six NBA titles together with the Chicago Bulls, the two do not get along personally these days.
The former Chicago Bulls-Washington Wizards-Dream Team guard was in Paris last Sunday, where he was asked by reporters about Marcus's current relationship with Larsa Pippen.
The question made the man considered basketball's "GOAT" laugh at first until the reporter asked him if he approved of their relationship. To this, the elder Jordan finally got brutally honest and simply answered a resounding "No!" The reporter tried to get MJ to clarify, but the basketball icon just shook his head and left.
Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen have been dating for quite some time now, with Larsa even appearing on "The Tamron Hall Show" a few months ago to talk about their relationship.
She said that she feels like she was accepted by his family, saying, "I feel like, we've spent holidays together and it's good. We're in a great place." However, with Michael Jordan's recent answer, it seems that he does not approve of her at all.
According to TMZ, the couple tried hiding their relationship from the public, with Larsa Pippen admitting that when they first got together, she saved his name on her phone under a different name to stop people from finding out they were dating.

Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan Not Meeting Eye to Eye These Days
Scottie Pippen had been lambasting his former teammate, Michael Jordan, since the documentary, "The Last Dance," came out. While they won championships together, Pippen called Jordan a "horrible player" during an appearance on fellow Bulls teammate Stacey King's podcast "Gimme the Hot Sauce."
According to USA Today, Pippen explained that he does not believe that basketball has a "greatest of all time" because it is a team game before lambasting his ex-teammate, saying, "I've seen Michael Jordan play before I came to the Bulls. You guys have seen him play. He was a horrible player."
"He was horrible to play with. It was all 1-on-1. He's shooting bad shots," said Larsa Pippen's ex. "All of a sudden, we become a team, and we start winning. Everybody forgot who he was.
Michael Jordan Vs. Scottie Pippen Feud Simmering for Some Time Now
Several reports indicate that the feud may have stemmed from the second episode of "The Last Dance," where Jordan called out Pippen over his "selfish" decision to delay offseason surgery on a ruptured tendon in his ankle until the season started. Pippen was reportedly unhappy with his portrayal in the documentary.
In response to what Jordan said in the documentary, Pippen lashed out, saying, "You want to know what selfish is? Selfish is retiring right before the start of training camp when it is too late for the organization to sign free agents." This was a reference to Jordan's decision to retire in his prime to pursue a career in baseball.
