Marcus is also known for his past relationship with Larsa Pippen, Scottie Pippen's ex-wife. Scottie and Michael were teammates on the Chicago Bulls, winning six championships in the 1990s.

Marcus and Larsa dated for over a year before breaking up last year. At 34, Marcus is the son of Michael Jordan and Juanita Vanoy.

He is also an entrepreneur, serving as CEO of The Trophy Room, a custom sneaker store in Florida.

Marcus played at the University of Central Florida for three years, from 2009 to 2012, averaging 12.9 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists as the team's lead point guard.

Marcus Jordan had problems with authorities before

This was not the first time Marcus Jordan got tangled up with the law as he did not play his senior year in UCF because of illegal charges. He was arrested in 2012 in Omaha for disorderly conduct and obstructing officers.

Jordan was not seen on the basketball court again after the incident, choosing to pursue a business career after his graduation from the university.

Two years before the incident, Marcus was also investigated for spending about $50,000 on nightclubs in Las Vegas. However, the Nevada Gaming Control board dismissed him afterwards.

These have been a recurring problem in his life as his lifestyle choices were rumored to have caused her ex-girlfriend Larsa Pippen to split up with him in 2024.

There were also rumors about Marcus Jordan’s relentless partying, which Larsa grew tired of in their one-year relationship.

Last August, Marcus was also seen sniffing a white substance while hanging out with friends in a resort in France. The scene comes a few months after he and Larsa broke up.
