When leaving a dinner at Paris’ Matignon, the NBA icon was asked about his son’s relationship with the Real Housewives of Miami star. According to PageSix, the 60-year-old laughed it off but was pressed by the paparazzi about the topic.

Jordan responded with a firm “No!”

This is just another twist in the Jordan and Pippen saga that has been going on for years. Pippen has criticized Jordan in the last few years.

Scottie was unhappy about how he was portrayed in the "The Last Dance" documentary, which focused on the Chicago Bulls dynasty in the 1990s. He also blasted Jordan in his 2021 memoir "UNGUARDED"

Larsa and Marcus Jordan's relationship timeline

Larsa and Scottie have four children together: Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin, and Sophia.

Larsa and Scottie were first spotted together in September 2022 in Miami, but Larsa said the two are just friends. The couple were also spotted earlier this year kissing, per People. In January 2023, Larsa posted a telling photo on Instagram.

The two confirmed their love on Valentine's Day 2023. Marcus shared a picture of Larsa holding flowers with the caption, "Three words, 8 letters💖✨🌹Happy Valentines Day, Babe❤️‍🔥."

Scottie calls Jordan a terrible player

Sports Brief earlier reported on Scottie saying Jordan was a terrible player when he joined the NBA in the 1986/87 season. Jordan averaged 37.1 points in that season.

"He was a horrible player. He was horrible to play with. He was all one-on-one, he's shooting bad shots, and all of a sudden we become a team and we start winning and everybody forgot who he was."

In the three seasons before, Jordan won the Rookie of the Year award in the 1984/85 season and led the NBA in scoring (37.1 PPG) in the 1986/87 campaign.
