The rivalry between Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen continues to roll on, and it is seemingly getting more personal. And a bit weirder.
The two former Chicago Bulls may have created history on the court during the nineties, winning six NBA Championships together. However, personally, the pair have famously never gotten along and now, Jordan's son Marcus is dating Pippen's ex-wife Larsa and His Airness doesn't like it one bit.
Marcus, 32, and Larsa, 48 have been Instagram official for five months now, although during that time we had not heard what MJ thought about his son dating the ex-wife of his ex-teammate.
Well, in a blunt post-dinner statement in Paris recently, Jordan made his feelings about his son's relationship with the Real Housewives of Miami star abundantly clear.
Leaving a dinner at Matignon in the French capital, the 60-year-old NBA icon was asked by a TMZ photographer what he thought about Marcus dating the OnlyFans model and whether he approved of the relationship.

Jordan's answer? A loud and clear "No". When the photographer asked for a second time, likely hoping for a bit more elaboration from the six-time NBA champion, Jordan simply shook his head. And that was that.
If this is indeed Jordan's stance on the matter, it does not appear to have translated to Larsa who, during a recent appearance on the Tamron Hall Show said, "I feel like, we've spent holidays together and it's good. We're in a great place.
"It’s not about my parents, his parents. They’re all happy. Our whole family’s fine."
Just last month, on their Separation Anxiety podcast, the pair discussed their extended families, with Jordan commenting, “I don’t think there was ever any hurdles, I just think there was some shock value to the fact that we were dating. Caught maybe some people on my side of the family off guard a little bit.”
