“That’s one of the oddest things I’ve seen,” Michael Jordan‘s former rival said while discussing LarCus. Recently, in an interview with OutKick, Jordan’s rival from college basketball, Dan Dakich, made some odd assumptions about the most controversial issue in the basketball world. From being the first player to notch up an impressive game with flu to being one of the rivals of the Chicago Bulls icon, there were many intriguing insights by Dakich. But his Larsa Pippen take has stolen the spotlight.

When the anchor asked about Jordan’s son dating his former teammate’s ex-wife, Larsa, and whether the champ is a winner or loser in this peculiar situation, Dakich expressed his thoughts on the matter. Speaking based on Jordan’s one-of-a-kind thought process, Dakich noted that the legend can have a winning attitude about this rather than taking it in as a loss.

In response to “Who’s winning in the situation,” Dakich said, “I would imagine Michael Jordan because Michael’s gonna say what you just said, ‘damn man your wife went from you to my son.’” He then opened up about the infamous rumors from the 90s involving MJ, Scottie, and pop icon Madonna. As per this story, Madonna seemingly had to “shun” His Airness in favor of his teammate. Dakich’s own history with MJ is interesting.

During his college days in North Carolina, Jordan came up against Dakich and his Indiana Hoosiers in the 1984 East Regional Semifinal of the NCAA tournament. Additionally, the Tar Heels were the No.1 seed that year. While that game proved to be only the sixth start of the year for Dakich, he was tasked with guarding MJ. And didn’t he do that well?

Holding Jordan to just 13 points, Dakich helped the Hoosiers upset the Tar Heels 72-68. Even though MJ had to stay on the bench due to foul trouble, Dakich did a great job on him. Interestingly, it proved to be MJ’s final college game before he went on to become a household name in the NBA. Nonetheless, his comments about the Larsa-Marcus relationship are quite bold. But what about the other side? Well, given Jordan’s previous comment and silence on the issue, it’s hard to assume the 6x NBA Champion’s opinion on it.

The couple has always mentioned that the Chicago Bulls icon has approved of their relationship or is most likely to approve of his son’s happiness. However, as noticed in an interaction in Paris, Jordan simply declared “No” to the question about approval of Marcus’s relationship. Soon, Marcus clarified to an embarrassed Larsa that the statement was only made as a joke. There have been no further statements from MJ.

He was absent from the Chicago Bulls Rings of Honor Ceremony as well. Just recently, when LarCus made headlines for their brief breakup, the first thought to cross people’s minds was an issue with MJ. However, the two reconciled, and during the ‘Reunion’ episode of Real Housewives of Miami, the couple was again asked the same question.

Even this time around, Marcus shifted the focus to his mother, emphasizing that he cares about whether his mother likes his girlfriend or not. What are your thoughts on the matter? Let us know in the comments section below.
