All-time NBA great Michael Jordan’s son Marcus is making news for the wrong reasons, as the 33-year-old was recently caught snorting an unknown white powder while in France.

The younger Jordan has found himself in and out of the tabloids in recent years, primarily due to his former romantic relationship with Larsa Pippen. As many fans know, Pippen was once married to the elder Jordan’s longtime teammate Scottie Pippen.
The shared history between the two families made the relationship between Larsa Pippen and the younger Jordan odd for many fans. The 17-year age difference between the former couple was another factor that rubbed some people the wrong way.
One interesting wrinkle to the current story about the younger Jordan being caught allegedly doing an illegal substance is that he was caught doing so next to his new romantic interest, Ashley Stevenson.
Little is known about Stevenson, but her presence seems like a sure sign that the relationship between Larsa Pippen and the younger Jordan is a thing of the past.
Hilariously, NBA fans on X.com have managed to make the story of the younger Jordan’s recent exploits factor into the ongoing G.O.A.T. debate that has pitted Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James against the elder Jordan for the better part of the last two decades.
Fans were quick to highlight that while James’ son Bronny has entered the NBA, the younger Jordan seems to be on a very different life trajectory.
The GOAT debate is over with all due respect.

This shows just how passionate some fans are when it comes to the conversation regarding the elder James and the elder Jordan.
As for the younger Jordan and his activities during his summer vacation in France, it seems unlikely that anything significant will come from these photographs.
However, it may be worth keeping an eye on any updates to see if local French authorities decide to investigate the matter.
Once the 2024-25 NBA season starts, it will be interesting to see if the comparison between the younger James and the younger Jordan continues to factor into the debate about their respective fathers.
