Ryan Clark talks about Larsa Pippen’s last name after the wedding

Several months after publicly confirming their relationship, both Larsa and Marcus dropped hints about a potential wedding. In the past, the 49-year-old Larsa had expressed her willingness to change her surname if she were to marry again. Now that the wedding plans are underway, former NFL star and ESPN analyst Ryan Clark shared his intriguing perspective on Larsa’s potential last name change.

As Fred Taylor asked his team about his opinion on the 32-year-old’s romance with the RHOM star, Ryan Clark noted that he was all up for it if they were in a ?genuine loving relationship.?

Fans are well aware of the longstanding feud between Michael Jordan and his former Chicago Bulls teammate. Regarding the potential impact of Larsa’s last name change, Clark remarked, “They said though it would be Jordan and it wouldn’t be Pippen-Jordan. But I think it should be Pippen-Jordan, right?” He suggested that it would be Jordan and Pippen’s seventh ring after Scottie and Michael earned 6 NBA championships playing together.

He added, “We thought we just had the last dance in the Dynasty, now we got forever with Pippen and Jordan… So I think hyphenating it would be monumental.” Clark expressed that keeping both names would increase their popularity.

Nevertheless, to his disappointment, it’s highly improbable that Larsa will keep the name Pippen after her wedding to the Jordan family’s second eldest. However, it would be intriguing to see if MJ might attend their wedding, especially considering Marcus’ recent disclosure about his desire to involve his father.

The Trophy Room owner’s mother, Juanita Vanoy, has already granted her blessing to the couple. As mentioned earlier by Larsa, both of their families are pleased with their relationship. However, the same cannot be said for the Chicago Bulls legend.

During a podcast with Pablo Torres, the 32-year-old expressed his desire for his dad to serve as “his best man.” Furthermore, he stated that Mike also respects his relationship with Larsa.
