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.
