The rumors that Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan have been in a relationship for a few months now are pretty well-known among fans. Larsa, the ex-wife of the Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen, has been romantically tied with Michael Jordan‘s son Marcus Jordan, with clips of affectionate moments between the two often grabbing headlines. Marcus’ father being her ex-husband?s teammate makes the affair even more intriguing for many fans. Eventually, this has led to fans trying to throw shade at Larsa for dating Marcus. However, Shaquille O?Neal may have taken it to a whole new level.
Larsa Pippen is being painted in a bad light for dating her ex-husband?s teammate?s son by fans across the league. But before Larsa got involved with Marcus Jordan, she dated other men associated with the basketball world, including her son?s teammates as well.

For those of you who do not know, Scottie and Larsa Pippen?s son, Scottie Pippen Jr. has been playing for the Los Angeles Lakers. Meanwhile, NBA legend Shaquille O?Neal decided to make fun of Pippen Jr. and his teammate Malik Beasley. Incidentally, Malik Beasley and Larsa Pippen were involved in a relationship in 2020. Beasley was taken aback when those pictures went viral as he was still married at the time.
However, what Shaquille O?Neal said recently may have crossed a line. Shaq said, ?You know what would be messed up? If they started playing one-on-one and [Malik Beasley] hit a jumper in [Pippen Jr?s] face and go ?Yo momma.??
Fans were absolutely not on board with O?Neal?s remarks. One fan tweeted, ?Bro get this old man in the retirement home.?
