The romance between Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen has been the talk of the town. It has been months since the two announced their love to the public. However, the conversations around the couple are far from fading away. The primary reason for it is their last names. Marcus is the son of Michael Jordan and Larsa is the ex-wife of Scottie Pippen. Adding another layer to the rumors, a 43-year-old TV host has dubbed Michael Jordan a “Bond villain.”

Even the relationship between MJ and Scottie Pippen has grown strained over the years. Pippen has been on a rampage, talking down to his teammate. That has created more space for rumors and for people to speculate if the newly-in-love couple is a way for MJ to get back at Scottie. Regardless of the amount of truth in the matter, the ones with a platform are making all sorts of assumptions about their relationship.

Is Michael Jordan playing a role in his son’s relationship?

The trio of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman were the most dominant individuals on the court. Pippen and MJ are often mentioned in tandem as making up one of the greatest duos in basketball. Together, they ruled the league in the 90s, winning six championships. Decades later, the teammates don’t even see eye to eye. Scottie got divorced in 2021 and now his ex-wife is dating his teammate’s son. Recently a report came out which said that Larsa will get 50% of Scottie’s 401k Savings Trust from his Chicago Bulls retirement fund.

Talking about the massive share being received by Larsa and her dating MJ’s son, Van Lathan crowned MJ as a “Bond villain”. During his appearance on the VLAD TV interview, Lathan said “Larsa Pippen is kicking Scottie Pippen’s f**king a**.” He said that Larsa is doing damage to Scottie which he might never recover from. In addition to that, Lathan alluded that MJ could be behind this whole chain of events as Scottie has been disrespectful to him lately. The 43-year-old said, “Michael is like a Bond villain. I think Michael has orchestrated all of this.”

Lathan added that MJ must’ve called his son and asked him to date Larsa just to get back at his teammate.
