Fans Express Disappointment After Michael Jordan's Son Marcus Jordan's Arrest

Michael Jordan's son, Marcus Jordan, has been arrested and jailed for several charges, leading to reactions from fans.

Details of what led to Marcus's trouble with the law remain scanty, but fans have expressed disappointment about the incident.

News of Marcus's arrest comes after his split from Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of his father's former teammate, Scottie Pippen.

News of Marcus's arrest made headlines on Tuesday. TMZ reported that he was arrested and jailed on Monday for allegedly committing several serious crimes.

The crimes Marcus was arrested for included driving under the influence (DUI), cocaine possession, and resisting arrest.

After his arrest, Marcus was booked into the Orange County Jail in Orlando, Florida, where he posed for a mugshot.

As news of Marcus's arrest filtered, multiple online blogs posted about it on social media, including The Shade Room. Fans flooded the comments section to express their disappointment over the development and how Marcus was "tarnishing" his dad's legacy.

One fan wrote, "Dude had all the opportunity just chose a different route."

Another fan added, "You just out here embarrassing your father huh?"

A third person wrote, "How you a Jordan family doing bozo sh-t? Smh."

Another fan shared, "His pops got six rings, and he out here collecting charges. Smh."

A fifth person opined, "That kid tarnishing a father's image and reputation built from years of hard work."

Another person added, "I’m not buying no more Jordans! All my money going to COKE is insane."

While some fans were disappointed that Marcus was soiling his dad's reputation, others couldn't help but bring up the basketball Greatest of All Time (GOAT) debate between Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

Those fans believed LeBron had an edge in the GOAT debate since his son, Bronny James, was now an NBA player, while Michael's son was allegedly involved in crime.

One fan wrote, "LeBron son in the league, Jordan son does coke...Bron wins goat convo!!"

A second fan added, "Bronny would never."

A third person shared, "Another reason why LeBron > Jordan. Bronny in the league. Marcus doing blow off strippers."

Another fan warned, "Y'all better not say nothing about Bronny James ever again."

A fifth fan said they would "rather be Bronny" than Marcus Jordan.

Before his arrest, Marcus courted controversy because of his relationship with television personality Larsa Pippen, who is 16 years older than him.

Besides their age gap, Marcus and Larsa's romance was controversial because she was the former wife of Michael Jordan's former Chicago Bulls teammate, Scottie Pippen.

Although Michael and Scottie were a scary duo during their playing days, they have been feuding for over 20 years, which made Marcus and Larsa's relationship raise more eyebrows.

However, Michael didn't approve of the relationship, answering "No" when a TMZ photographer quizzed him about it.

Marcus and Larsa sparked romance rumors in September 2022 after they were spotted having lunch in Miami. They fueled the rumors further after he accompanied her to "The Real Housewives of Miami" Season Five Premiere party in December 2022.

The pair eventually confirmed they were dating when they went Instagram official in January 2023.

The lovebirds split briefly in February 2024 after dating for over a year. An insider told PEOPLE Magazine that the couple "decided to take some time apart to reevaluate their relationship," adding that their split had "nothing to do with any family input, but solely for their personal growth."

However, Marcus and Larsa reconciled soon after reports of their split made headlines and stepped out on a Valentine's Day date. Their reconciliation was short-lived, as a source told Entertainment Tonight that they had broken up for good.

The insider revealed, "Larsa realized this relationship is just not the one for her after spending some time apart, filming a new show. She wants to move on and focus on improving her life. They simply want different things out of life."

Another source told PEOPLE Magazine that Marcus and Larsa were "moving in different directions," adding that their split was amicable.

Another insider told the outlet, "Larsa is focusing on her exciting next chapter now. She's always been someone who is ambitious and driven. She needs a match who has those similar qualities."
