Once every few months the Bulls of the 1990s creep back into the headlines in some form or fashion.
On Oct. 31, former UCF guard Marcus Jordan (son of Hall of Fame guard Michael Jordan) and reality TV star Larsa Pippen (ex-wife of Hall of Fame forward Scottie Pippen) gave a joint interview on Pablo Torre Finds Out, sportswriter Pablo S. Torre's podcast on Meadowlark Media. As the two are in a relationship, the interview took several odd turns, none stranger than when Marcus asserted he wanted his father to be the best man in their wedding.
With the news cycle surrounding that interview in the rearview mirror, the younger Jordan and Larsa Pippen are now condemning the entire endeavor.
"We do podcasts and when people talk about us, I feel like they still don’t know who we are," Pippen said on her joint podcast with Jordan, Separation Anxiety with Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan. "They talked a lot of s--- before (our segment aired)."
“They talked a lot of s--t,” Jordan said. “I wasn’t too familiar with the format of his show. Maybe that’s on us not doing our research or whatever, I feel like the first half segment of the show was talking crazy.”
Jordan and Pippen criticized how Torre and the show's other panelists discussed the relationship, pointing to the tonal difference between the show's opening and the interview itself.
"Obviously they had listened to the podcast and were familiar with it, but our interview was very fluffy… and I feel like their commentary that aired before our interview was pretty biased," Jordan said.
"It was very one-sided… It was a hit piece by the way," Pippen agreed.
