John Salley’s candid account: Scottie Pippen’s first meeting with Larsa

In an honest recollection, four-time NBA champion John Salley recalls Scottie Pippen’s initial meeting with Larsa. Salley says that he and Scottie were both on their boats when the latter first noticed Larsa. When Scottie was out on his 52-foot Blue Water boat, he sailed by another vessel and saw Larsa on board. Scottie, intrigued, steered the boat back to her and initiated contact.

Recalling the incident, Salley said, “He passed her father yacht with her on a yacht, Scotty turned the boat around and followed it and wanted to talk to her.”

However, her father cautioned Scottie to keep a distance. In spite of initial setbacks, Pippen persisted in his efforts to befriend Larsa, and the two finally became close.

Salley emphasized that Larsa grew up in affluence and her father provided for her well. The story reveals more about the beginnings of Scottie and Larsa’s friendship and the mystery that brought them together on the high seas.

Revealing details: Larsa’s statements about her high s*x drive during her marriage

Larsa Pippen’s decision to date Marcus Jordan, the eldest son of Scottie’s ex-teammate Michael Jordan, has created controversy and raised eyebrows after her divorce from the NBA great. Many people were critical of the couple because of the large age difference and the difficult relationship between their families.

The complex relationship that had developed between Scottie and Michael Jordan for nearly more than a decade just added further complication to the issue.

“What happened is they were talking on the after hour show and she (Larsa) was like yo my guy (Scottie) had high s*x drive and that’s what she was talking about, he had a high s*x drive and I was doing everything I could to make him not want to go anywhere else,” Salley revealed.

Although Larsa’s ex-husband had a high s*x drive during their marriage, John Salley backed her decision to date someone younger in a recent interview. Larsa’s new relationship is still a hot issue of debate among both supporters and detractors.
