Larsa Pippen & Michael Jordan's ex-wife Juanita Vanoy applaud Steph Curry & Co's record-breaking Olympic gold

Larsa Pippen and Juanita Vanoy showed some love to the USA National Men's Basketball team after they won another gold at the Olympics. This is USA's fifth straight gold since 2008 and their 17th overall since basketball became an Olympic event in 1936. No other team has more gold medals in basketball than Team USA.

Both Larsa and Juanita, ex-wives of Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan, respectively, celebrated with the team through a congratulatory post which they shared on their respective Instagram Stories.

Juanita Vanoy is the first wife of Chicago Bulls legend and two-time Olympic Gold medalist (1984, 1992) Michael Jordan. The pair were married in 1989 and thus were together when MJ won gold as a part of the historic '92 Dream Team.

Vanoy and Jordan first filed for divorce in 2002 but were able to work out their differences and stay together. However, four years later, they filed for divorce again and were officially divorced in 2006. They have three children together--Jeffrey, Marcus, and Jasmine.

Larsa Pippen is also the ex-wife of a former Olympic Gold medalist, Scottie Pippen. Aside from being teammates with MJ on the Chicago Bulls during their dynasty years, Pippen was also a member of the '92 Dream Team. He also won gold at the 1996 Olympics.

Larsa and Scottie were married in 1997 and initially filed for divorce in 2016. Just like MJ and Juanita Vanoy, they were able to work out their relationship and remain together.

However, the couple would ultimately divorce in 2021. They have four children together, namely, Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin, and Sophia.

Larsa also dated Michael Jordan's son Marcus for about a year between 2023 and 2024.

Juanita Vanoy showed some love to USA Men's Basketball team's antics with Snoop Dogg

While the Team USA Men's National Basketball proved that they were locked in by winning yet another gold, they also found time for lighthearted moments when not playing.

One of these moments was when Snoop Dogg, who was a special NBC correspondent who covered the Olympics, spent time with the Men's basketball team.

Snoop Dogg rode on the Team bus where he joked around with players such as Steph Curry, Anthony Edwards, and Kevin Durant. A clip of the interaction was posted on Instagram and was later shared by Juanita Vanoy.
