Old Photo of Scottie Pippen and Young Larsa Goes Viral for All the Wrong Reasons—Mysterious Wet Spot Sparks Social Media Frenzy

An old photograph of NBA legend Scottie Pippen with a young Larsa Pippen and two of her friends has resurfaced online—and it’s not because of nostalgia. Instead, the image is causing a stir across social media due to a highly suspicious wet spot on Scottie’s jeans that has fans raising eyebrows and flooding comment sections with speculation, jokes, and memes.

The photo, believed to be from the mid-to-late 1990s during the early years of Scottie and Larsa’s relationship, shows the six-time NBA champion posing casually with Larsa and two women believed to be her close friends. Scottie, donning a denim outfit, appears relaxed and smiling—yet it’s the large, noticeable darkened patch on the front of his pants that has captured everyone’s attention.

The Internet Reacts: “What Exactly Happened There?”

It didn’t take long for Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok users to zoom in—literally—and dissect the photo. Theories range from the innocent (“He probably spilled a drink”) to the wildly speculative (“This man was clearly having too much fun”). One viral tweet read:

“This picture has no business being this chaotic. Why is Scottie grinning with that stain while Larsa stands there like it’s just another day?”

Another popular TikTok creator broke down the entire visual in a minute-long monologue that ended with, “This ain’t even TMZ material—this is National Archives level drama.”

Scottie and Larsa: A Marriage That Had It All—Love, Fame, Chaos

Scottie and Larsa Pippen’s relationship has always attracted public intrigue. They began dating in 1995 after Scottie’s divorce from his first wife, Karen McCollum, and married in 1997—the same year Scottie won his fifth NBA championship with the Chicago Bulls. At the time, Larsa Younan was rising in socialite circles, and together the couple quickly became one of basketball’s most recognizable power pairs.

They had four children together—Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin, and Sophia—and for years, were often seen as one of the more enduring couples in the sports world.

However, cracks in the marriage eventually surfaced—first in the form of explosive tabloid headlines and later, court filings. The couple separated in 2016 when Scottie filed for divorce amid widespread rumors that Larsa was having an affair with rapper Future. Though they attempted to reconcile in 2017, it didn’t last long. Larsa filed for divorce the following year, citing irreconcilable differences. Their split was finalized in 2021.

And just when fans thought the story couldn’t get any wilder, Larsa shocked the internet once again.

Check it out below:

“did he pee his pants?” someone asked in the comments.

“i thought the spot might start lower, fr,” someone else joked.

Of course, that’s probably just what the jeans looked like back then.

Dating the Son of Your Ex’s Teammate?

In a twist that could only come from a Hollywood script, Larsa Pippen entered a serious relationship with Marcus Jordan—the son of Scottie’s former teammate and all-time NBA legend Michael Jordan. Given the long-reported tension between Scottie and Michael since their Bulls days and especially following the release of The Last Dance documentary, the move raised more than a few eyebrows.

The relationship between Larsa and Marcus was highly publicized, with the pair sharing frequent romantic photos on Instagram and even teasing the idea of marriage. However, that too reportedly came to a sudden end in 2023 after the two unfollowed each other and wiped their accounts of any shared memories.

Many fans considered Larsa’s relationship with Marcus to be a major sore spot for Scottie, further complicating the already tense dynamics between the former teammates.

So, What’s the Deal With the Photo?

As for the photo, no official explanation has been offered. Scottie Pippen hasn’t commented publicly, and neither has Larsa. But that hasn’t stopped the internet from crafting its own theories.

Some social media detectives believe the wet spot might have come from a spilled drink, while others lean into more risqué explanations given the public knowledge about Scottie and Larsa’s famously intense physical chemistry.

Back in 2022, Larsa revealed during an interview that she and Scottie were intimate up to four times a night during their relationship—an admission that shocked fans and dominated gossip headlines.

“We were married 23 years. I had sex four times a night, every night. I never had a day off,” she claimed.

That detail, now infamous among pop culture followers, has led to a more NSFW interpretation of the now-viral wet spot photo. But until either party speaks out—and let’s be honest, they probably won’t—it’s all speculation.

A Relationship That Defined a Generation of NBA Wives

Love them or hate them, Scottie and Larsa Pippen have become something of an archetype for the modern celebrity sports couple. They lived large in the spotlight, experienced highs and lows in the public eye, and redefined what it meant to navigate fame as a unit—even long after the marriage ended.

For Scottie, there hasn’t been any confirmed new relationship since the split. He’s been spotted with various women but has kept a much lower profile than his ex-wife. Larsa, meanwhile, has leaned into her celebrity status, joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Miami and keeping her name in headlines—whether through relationships, fashion, or social media moments.

The Legacy of a Photo

At the end of the day, the resurfaced photo has taken on a life of its own. Some see it as a hilarious relic of the 90s—oversized denim, awkward poses, and all. Others view it as a tiny window into a relationship that would later become one of the most talked-about partnerships in sports and entertainment.

And for younger fans who only know Scottie Pippen from highlight reels and Larsa from Instagram, the image adds another layer of complexity to two very public personas. Whether it’s a wardrobe accident, a joke gone wrong, or a symbol of the wild passion that once defined their relationship, the picture proves one thing:

Nothing about Scottie and Larsa Pippen was ever ordinary.

From championship banners to reality TV drama, from tabloid scandals to viral photos, their story continues to fascinate—and that suspicious little wet spot might just be the most bizarre chapter yet.
