News about Michael Jordan

Larsa Pippen isn't too fond of Michael Jordan's remarks about her son's relationship.

When talking about his son's friendship with Larsa Pippen, Michael Jordan isn't wasting time — or words. Marcus Jordan, the NBA GOAT's son, is dating Scottie Pippen's ex-wife, the daddy's longtime Chicago Bulls teammate, as Perezcious readers know. While the lovebirds may have a 16-year age difference, Larsa has explicitly laid out in the past that it doesn’t matter to them, and that she’s on good terms with her boy toy’s parents… But is that truly the case?

Michael B. Jordan may have risen to international prominence, but at one point, he was just a boy in high school fending off rumors about his name. Unlike most boys who are teased in high school, however, he was able to speak directly to one of his ex classmates who used to mock him. Jordan was on the red carpet at a fan screening of "Clex III" when he recognized a reporter, "The Morning Hustle," radio host Lore'l, who happened to be an old high school friend. "Oh yeah, I was the corny kid, right?" He laughed with Lore'l, who added that the two go "all the way back to Chad Science [Academy] in Newark."
