The 1990s Chicago Bulls were on top of the world, taking the nation, and the world, by storm. Not only did they win six championships in eight seasons, but the pure star power of Michael Jordan made them the most popular basketball team in the history of the sport, at least for that decade.
However, a couple of years ago, a documentary was released called “The Last Dance.” It covered the history of the Bulls dynasty with a focus on their last title run together as a team. The documentary led to some beef between Jordan and Scottie Pippen, and recent developments have added new layers to it.
Jordan’s son, Marcus Jordan, has been dating Pippen’s ex-wife, Larsa Pippen, and he’s been doing it very much in the public eye. Paparazzi caught up with Jordan in Paris and asked him about the entanglement.

A member of the paparazzi shouted at Jordan, asking him his thoughts and whether or not he approves of the couple. Jordan laughed, replying with a staunch “no” and shaking his head.
Jordan and Pippen have been involved in a public beef for months at this point, though it has seemed mostly one-sided.
Pippen has made an array of disparaging comments about Jordan to the media. He called him a “horrible player” and stated that he doesn’t think they will ever speak again.
For two players who played with each other for as long as they did, and with the amount of success they had, it’s a bit shocking to see how far their relationship has gone downhill.
