Over the past few years, the relationship between Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen seems to have deteriorated. With the release of ‘The Last Dance‘, Pippen felt Jordan was glorified while his own contribution was ignored. However, their relationship may take another hit, as the eldest son of Michael Jordan and the ex-wife of Scottie Pippen were recently seen together. And the NBA world exploded.
Larsa Pippen has been divorced from Scottie for some time now and she has been linked with a host of NBA players since. And the latest one seems to be her ex-husband’s team-mate’s son. The two were spotted in a restaurant together, as they were on a double date with another couple.

How did Jordan and Pippen start and where are they now?
The Chicago Bulls drafted both Jordan and Pippen. Jordan was there a few years before Pippen and the two complemented each other well. The duo first won three titles in a row together and they were arguably the best duo in the league at the time.
And then Michael Jordan left for the first time and Pippen was the sole leader. The Bulls came very close to reaching the Finals again but were unable to get over the hump. And then Jordan returned to the franchise.

And again, the duo became one of the best in the league. They went on to win another three-peat together and cemented themselves as one of the greatest duos in NBA history. Even after they both retired, they stayed close and spoke highly of each other.
