Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan’s high-profile romance has grabbed a lot of attention due to their connections with NBA legends and teammates, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. The lovebirds have faced frequent backlashes because of their complicated relationship, even from NBA star turned analyst Charles Barkley, who sympathizes with his former friend.
During a recent episode of Club Shay Shay podcast, Barkley said, “I feel bad for Michael, I feel bad for Scottie. That is so messy. I don’t like messy because when it’s messy, everybody has an opinion on it. And you know, the internet is not a place for messy.”
Scottie’s ex-wife and Marcus, Jordan’s son, have been open about their relationship and the ups and downs that followed. While the RHOM actress confirmed that they broke up, the pair were recently spotted in Miami Beach spending a cozy time, reigniting affair rumors.
Barkley is quite popular for his bold statements and has never held himself back from expressing his opinions. Chuck didn’t even shy away from predicting how Larsa-Marcus’s relationship could affect Jordan and Pippen’s bond.
Charles Barkley Comments on Michael Jordan’s Relationship With Scottie Pippen
Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen have been a great on-court duo, but after the release of the docu-series “The Last Dance,” there has been a visible rift in their relationship which grew bigger with Larsa and Marcus’ relationship. Charles Barkley believes, “Michael and Scottie’s relationship can’t ever be the same.”
Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan have often been scrutinized for their 16-year age gap. Jordan himself has disapproved of their relationship in public, which his son later cleared up, saying that MJ was not being serious. While Scottie Pippen has not openly discussed the matter, Barkley’s prediction regarding the Bulls’ duo could be right.

Pippen also teamed up with Horace Grant and Luc Longley earlier this year to reveal their part of the story which was not included in His Airness’ Netflix documentary. If Larsa and Jordan indeed rekindle their flames, the deteriorating relationship between the former Bulls buddies could hit rock bottom with no point of return.
