Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan are arguably one of the most popular couples in the NBA. Their relationship has been a hot topic for more than a year now. Being in the spotlight, almost every other person has something or another to say about them. However, fans are most curious to know what legendary player Michael Jordon said about Larsa.
Notably, the couple has faced significant backlash because of their relationship. This is primarily due to their family background which adds an intriguing layer. Larsa is the ex-wife of notable basketball player Scottie Pippen, whereas, Marcus is the son of Michael Jordan. Furthermore, Scottie and Michael were teammates during their careers, and over the years, feuds between them became evident.
Since Larsa and Marcus’s relationship rumors sparked, everyone has been looking out for Scottie and Michael’s take on it. Back in July 2023, Michael was leaving after having dinner at Paris’ Matignon when a TMZ reporter spotted him. The 6x NBA Championship title winner was asked what he thinks about his son Marcus’ relationship with Larsa.
Initially, Michael laughed it off. However, the reporter kept pursuing him for an answer, and he broke his silence on the matter as he said, “No.” This one-word response was enough to create a buzz over the internet, and some fans agreed while others disagreed. On the other hand, Scottie has yet not spoken about his ex-wife Larsa’s relationship with his friend-turned-enemy’s son.
Did Michael Jordan disapprove of Larsa Pippen?
Just a few weeks after Michael Jordan publicly disapproved of Larsa Pippen, the couple discussed about the same on their infamous ‘Separation Anxiety‘ podcast. The duo had polar-apart opinions and feelings about what the Bulls star said about Larsa. The RHOM star expressed that she was embarrassed and she did not find anything funny about it.
On the other hand, Marcus revealed that Michael called him to come clean about what he said. The ‘Trophy Room’ owner said, “He called me and texted me and wanted to make sure that I didn’t take anything the wrong way but then when the article came out, he texted me again and he never said ‘hell no’ and that’s not what the implications were.” As per Marcus, his dad’s comments were meant as a joke and everyone took it differently.

In addition to this, Marcus claimed that Michael wasn’t entirely sober when he spoke about Larsa. The star kid said that he knows that his dad loves Cincoro and he drinks tequila all the time. He continued to talk about how Michael said that Marcus doesn’t need his approval in his personal life. Notably, as of now, Michael has not said anything else about Larsa or her relationship with his son.
Furthermore, as the couple’s wedding plans are all over the place, fans await to see how everything unfolds. Marcus has once expressed that he would want his father, Michael to be the best man. In addition to this, the soon-to-be-hitched couple’s wedding list has allegedly been leaked. As per it, Scottie will not be invited giving Michael the last laugh.
