The headline-grabbing romance between Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan has stirred up controversy, given their ties to NBA legends Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.

Despite their connections, the couple has faced frequent criticism, even from former NBA star Charles Barkley, who sympathizes with his former friend.

During a recent episode of the Club Shay Shay podcast, Barkley expressed his concern, stating, “I feel bad for Michael, I feel bad for Scottie.

That is so messy. I don’t like messy because when it’s messy, everybody has an opinion on it. And you know, the internet is not a place for messy.”

The relationship between Scottie’s ex-wife and Michael Jordan’s son has been a subject of public scrutiny, with both parties being open about their ups and downs.

While Larsa confirmed their breakup, recent sightings of the pair in Miami Beach have reignited speculation about their affair.

Known for his bold statements, Barkley did not hesitate to predict the potential impact of Larsa and Marcus’s relationship on the bond between Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. Barkley believes that their friendship may never be the same again.

The age gap between Larsa and Marcus, coupled with public disapproval from Michael Jordan himself, has added fuel to the controversy. While Jordan’s son clarified that his father’s disapproval was not serious, Scottie Pippen has remained tight-lipped on the matter.

Earlier this year, Pippen, along with Horace Grant and Luc Longley, shared their side of the story, shedding light on aspects not covered in Jordan’s Netflix documentary, “The Last Dance.”

If Larsa and Marcus do reconcile, it could further strain the already deteriorating relationship between the former Bulls teammates, potentially reaching a point of no return.
