It was just a year ago that Pippen and Marcus Jordan, the son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, were talking about getting married.

Who is Jeff Coby?
Coby was a prized high school standout in Florida before moving onto the Ivy League and averaging a paltry 2.8 points and 2.6 rebounds at Columbia University as a freshman. He graduated with a 3.0 GPA in history and sociology.
He was later drafted into the NBA and played in the G League, the NBA’s minor league organization. Afterwards, Coby played in the European leagues, mostly in Spain, before returning to the U.S. and played for the minor league teams of the Knicks and Spurs.
As a Haitian-American — both his parents were born in the country before moving to the States — Coby’s latest basketball venture was with the Haitian national team.
