Chicago Bulls dominated the NBA during the 90s winning six NBA championships. Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen played an important role in helping them win two three-peats. However, Jordan and Pippen don’t have a close relationship since their retirement, particularly after Netflix’s The Last Dance docuseries came out a couple of years ago.
Pippen blamed MJ for his portrayal in the docuseries. The distance between the two legends certainly hasn’t bridged now that Larsa Pippen, Pippen’s ex-wife, is rumored to be dating Marcus Jordan, the youngest son of Michael Jordan. However, Larsa still supports Scottie and took a stand on the The Last Dance controversy a few moths ago.

The relations between Michael Jordan and Scottie haven’t been the same it used to be on the court during the 90s. Pippen didn’t particularly liked the way the rest of the Chicago Bulls squad was portrayed in the docuseries. He even wrote a book ‘Unguarded: Scottie Pippen’ to share his side of the story.
Larsa was recently spotted alongside Marcus Jordan, son of Michael Jordan. Several reports suggested that the two are dating. However, despite being divorced with Scottie, Larsa sees him as a ‘best friend’ and supported him on how he was portrayed in ‘The Last Dance’.
Larsa Pippen speaks up on the portrayal of Scottie Pippen in ‘The Last Dance’
Earlier this year, Larsa Pippen appeared on the show ‘Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen’. During the show, Andy Cohen asked her about the status of her relationship with Scottie.
To this Larsa replied, “We’re best friends. Yeah, we co-parent the same and we love each other.”
Then Andy asked her to share her thoughts on ‘The Last Dance’ docuseries. Subsequently, Pippen supported Scottie’s claims and claimed that Michael Jordan wasn’t winning without Scottie.

“I think Scottie wasn’t portrayed as well as he should have been,” she said.
“I know I’m biased. Scottie was winning without Michael (Jordan), but Michael wasn’t winning without Scottie. So I have to give Scottie credit,” Larsa added.
It seems Larsa and Scottie Pippen are on good terms despite being divorced. According to several reports, she is dating Marcus Jordan. The two have been spotted together a few times, further fuelling the fire on their dating rumors.
