As Michael Jordan Disapproves Son Dating Scottie Pippen’s Ex-Wife, Stephen a Smith’s Reaction Leaves Internet in Frenzy: “One Person His Dad Wouldn’t Approve”

When Michael Jordan got wind of his son dating one of his biggest rivals’ ex-wife, he was not happy. The NBA legend’s son, Marcus Jordan, and his new flame, Scottie Pippen‘s ex-wife Larsa Pippen, sparked dating rumors when they were seen on a lunch date together in September 2022. While the couple initially decided to keep their relationship a secret because of the rift between Jordan and Pippen, ultimately, the cat got out of the bag.

In interviews, Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan earlier claimed that Michael Jordan had given his stamp of approval to the relationship. Turns out, the 6-time NBA Champion and his son are not on the same page when it comes to dating Larsa Pippen. In subsequent interviews, Jordan Senior completely disregarded the notion that he approves of the relationship. This gave Stephen A. Smith a chance to decode what Jordan’s reaction must have been to the situation, leaving the internet in splits.

And the conclusion of the exercise seems to be, Jordan can’t do much besides making his demurral clear. A clip from the Stephen A. Smith Show was shared by a Twitter account with the name ‘Shannonnn sharpes Burner (PARODY Account)’. The video revealed Stephen A. Smith giving his two cents on Marcus Jordan dating Larsa Pippen and Michael Jordan being unhappy about the same.

The video was captioned, “Stephen a Smith talking about Michael Jordan not approving of his son Marcus & larsa pippen relationship has me crying”. In the clip, while giving his opinion on the situation, Smith claimed that Larsa Pippen was looking gorgeous and he could understand why Marcus Jordan must have told his father, “Dad I appreciate where you are coming from, but you need to fall back”. Then, Smith proceeded to decode what Michael Jordan’s reaction might have been to his son Marcus Jordan’s new girlfriend.
