NBA legend Scottie Pippen, 57, found himself in the spotlight recently when he teamed up with Ekaterina Lisina, the world’s tallest model, for a promotional event for his whiskey brand. The meeting, captured in a photo shared on Instagram, shows Pippen alongside the towering Russian model, creating quite the image for his followers.
Lisina’s Instagram caption suggests Pippen requested the photo opportunity to help promote his whiskey. The promotional event occurred as Pippen’s ex-wife, Larsa, launched a new podcast with her current boyfriend, Marcus Jordan.
The photo of Pippen and Lisina surfaced just after Larsa Pippen, 48, and Marcus Jordan, 32, premiered the first episode of their podcast Separation Anxiety. Larsa has been in a relationship with Marcus, son of basketball icon Michael Jordan, for nearly a year.
The couple candidly discusses their relationship in their podcast, notably addressing their significant 16-year age difference. Amidst Scottie’s recent critical comments about Michael Jordan, Larsa firmly declared that their family names would not interfere with their love.
Ekaterina Lisina: Tallest Model and Scottie Pippen’s Association
At 35 years old, Lisina is not only known for her modeling career but also for her basketball background. Standing at 6-foot-9, the Russian model holds the Guinness World Record as the tallest professional model in the world.
In the shared photo, Lisina’s impressive height is on full display, as she visibly stands taller than the 6-foot-7 basketball Hall of Famer Pippen. This visual spectacle stirred social media speculation about a possible romantic link between Pippen and Lisina.
However, no concrete evidence suggests anything more than a professional interaction between the two. Meanwhile, Larsa and Marcus seem unfazed and continue to discuss their relationship and address rumors on their podcast.
