Michael Jordan's Son Marcus Cast on Peacock's 'The Traitors' with Girlfriend Larsa Pippen
Another chapter of the Jordan vs. Pippen saga is coming to fruition.
Peacock announced its cast for the second season of the reality television show "The Traitors" and it features former Marcus Jordan, who played college basketball up the road at the University of Central Florida from 2009-12.
In an ironic twist of fate, Jordan is cast alongside his girlfriend, Larsa Pippen, who is Scottie Pippen's ex-wife.
Jordan and Pippen, who stars on the "Real Housewives of Miami," are part of a 21-person cast that consists mostly of reality stars and celebrities. The cast also includes boxer Deontay Wilder and UK Parliament member John Bercow.
Marcus Jordan is very familiar with the Orlando area, playing college basketball at UCF from 2009-12.

In the show, contestants live in a castle in Scotland and some are assigned to be the titular "Traitors." The object of the game is for the "Faithfuls," those not considered to be "Traitors," to identify those who are.
This means that even though Jordan and Pippen are a couple, they will be expected to compete against one another on the show.
Jordan and Pippen began dating in 2022, less than a year after Pippen filed for divorce from her husband Scottie. As many basketball fans may know, Scottie played alongside Michael Jordan for many years with the Chicago Bulls, winning six championships from 1991-98.
In 1995, the Orlando Magic became the only team during that time period to beat both Pippen and Jordan in a playoff series en route to its first NBA Finals trip in franchise history.
Now, the rest of "The Traitors" cast will have a chance to follow in the Magic's footsteps.
