Michael Jordan's son(s)

Since I'm from Europe and I don't hear that much about NBA (except for what I read on websites), I was wondering what's up with Michael Jordan's sons?

He has 2 sons, right?

Does anyone ever hear something about them? When are they expected to go to the NBA Draft?

I believe his eldest, Jeffrey, has just started college so he might try to make the jump within the next couple of years. If he does, it will be interesting to see if he's picked by the Bobcats.

Okay, that's what I wanted to know.

Thanks 'drew!

Jeffrey is a preferred walk-on at Illinois, he'll be a sophomore this coming year. Last season he averaged like 1.0 PPG. Seriously if he get's picked at all, it can only be by the Bobcats and only because he's Jordan's kid and nothing else. His other son Marcus should be a Senior this upcoming school year. They may be good basketball players but by far from NBA level.

Eric Gordan (who ironically played Marcus Jordan in Space Jam) absolutely tooled the 2 Jordan kids, in his Senior year on TV broadcasted game he had like 43 points while the 2 Jordans combined for 8

How is that possible?

Isn't daddy Mike telling them to work their *sses off and stimulating them in getting better?
At least that's what you would expect...

You'd expect them at least to be above average

could his sons affect his image in any way?

AT ILLINOIS

parent success by no means guarentees success of the child

I'm pretty sure one of his sons is planning on running his Jordan brand business.

I played against Jeffery a bunch of times, he's pathetic. He has no skill whats oever and has no chance of playing on an NBDL, European or any other professional team for that matter.

I'm shocked he was even able to walk on at Illinois.

What about the younger MJ, have you played against him, Indy? Apparently he transferred out of Loyola and is going to be playing for Whitney M. Young.

Jeffery is younger than me, and I only played against him once when he played up for an older AAU team for a tournament and once in a pick-up game.

So Marcus is far too young for me to have seen.

How could they? If the drafted one of them then he'd probably take a fair amount of criticism but it's not like people with any sort of intelligence are going to re-evaluate his career just because his children aren't as good as he was.

Exactly. I really doubt Mike found time to groom his kids like Jason Kidd did with TJ, or exerted parenting skills akin to his career.

Jeffrey should play here in the Philippines. He will definitely be an endorser of Nike.

A couple of videos, for anyone who may be interested:

I'm a bit confused on the 2nd videoclip... It says #33 is Jeffrey Jordan, but the clip seems to focus on #32... and his hairstyle doesn't seem to look like that of Jeffrey Jordan (after having looked at the 1st videoclip)..

I think the player passing the ball is Jeffrey Jordan, but you're right, I don't know why they'd point out the passer when the video focuses on the dunk.

The description on YouTube identifies Jeffrey Jordan being #32 (contrary to the text in the video) but in any event, there are other videos of him up on YouTube.

It must have been a typo.

Perhaps, though I was under the impression he usually wore #32, though he's wearing #13 in another video.

That first video is funny, those were probably the only buckets he scored in the game.

Those commercials are so FUCKING dumb.

I always seem to be smoking a cigarette when those commercials come on.

Marcus seems to be the better player, he is 6'4, and has very good hops. Currently, I see him being a starting pg in a good euroleague team, possibly in the NBA because of his connection to MJ. He is still very young.

Its_asdf, its probably Jeffrey who will probably help run the Jordan business because he seems to be the less talented basketball wise brother.
