Charles Barkley has slammed Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen's rekindle, as the Hall of Famer revealed there are only 'losers' in the relationship and that he feels bad for Michael and Scottie amid the 'messy,' on-and-off romance.
Chuck, who was once close to 'His Airness,' provided his take on the 'Larcus' fiasco on Shannon Sharpe's 'Club Shay Shay podcast' this week, voicing his disapproval at Jordan's youngest son dating Pippen's ex-wife after the infamous fallout between the two former Bulls superstars.
'I feel bad for Michael, I feel bad for Scottie,' the former Suns, Rockets, and 76ers forward said on Wednesday. 'That is so messy.'
'I don't like messy,' he added. 'Because when it's messy, everybody has an opinion on it. And you know, the internet is not a place for messy.'
Chuck alluded to the fact that kids are involved in the drama and that they could be subjected to being trolled online, as Larsa shares four children with Scottie - Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin and Sophia.

'I just hate messy and it's just really messy. And there are no winners, only losers,' he said.
The 'Inside the NBA' analyst, who was once the NBA MVP in 1993, also referred to a change in dynamics between Michael and Scottie now that the latter's ex-wife is dating his former teammate's son.
Scottie and Larsa divorced in 2021 after 24 years of marriage.
'If I had won six championships with somebody, I would think, ''Man, we blood brothers for life,''' Barkley said.
Larsa and Marcus called it quits back in March after two years of dating.
They appeared to have reconciled by going to the beach in Miami together in April.
