Marcus James Jordan (born December 24, 1990) is an American former college basketball player who played for the UCF Knights men’s basketball team of American Athletic Conference. He is the son of retired Hall of Fame basketball player Michael Jordan.

Early life

Jordan was born December 24, 1990, to Michael Jordan and Juanita Vanoy. He has an older brother, Jeffrey, and three younger sisters—Jasmine, Ysabel, and Victoria. Marcus grew up in Highland Park, Illinois.

Basketball career

High school

Marcus Jordan originally played high school basketball with his older brother Jeffrey Jordan at Loyola Academy in Wilmette, Illinois. In Marcus’ sophomore year, the pair led the school to the conference championships and the best season in school history. Marcus then transferred to Whitney Young High School in Chicago for his junior and senior seasons.

On March 22, 2009, he led the Whitney Young Dolphins to the Illinois State 4A Championship title. Jordan scored a game-high 19 points leading Whitney Young to a 69–66 victory over Waukegan.

Jordan was rated as the 60th-best shooting guard in the country as a high school senior by ESPNU, averaging 10.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game, and earning state tournament MVP honors.

College

Marcus Jordan played college basketball at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida. During his freshman year, UCF was in the final year of a five-year contract with Adidas, but Jordan insisted on wearing Nike Air Jordan shoes out of loyalty to his father. This eventually prompted Adidas to terminate its sponsorship deal with UCF.

Jordan scored 8.0 points per game in his true freshman year in 2009–10 and scored 1152 points in his college career.
On November 12, 2010, the opening game of the 2010–11 season, Jordan led UCF to victory against University of West Florida scoring a career high 28 points on 8–11 field-goal shooting and 5–7 from the 3-point line. He also had a team-high 18 points in upsetting number-16 ranked Florida on December 1, 2010.

In August 2012, Jordan decided to leave the UCF basketball team, but he continued to take classes at the school.

While underage, Jordan tweeted about spending $35,000 at a nightclub in Las Vegas, prompting an investigation. In 2012, Jordan was arrested in Omaha and charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and obstructing justice.

Businesses

Jordan opened his shoe store “Trophy Room” on May 23, 2016. The chosen date pays reverence to his and his father’s jersey numbers. The store was located in Orlando, Florida at Disney World in the Disney Springs retail location. On May 31, 2019, the physical storefront closed and the store transitioned to online-only sales.

In the 1996 film Space Jam, Jordan was portrayed by Eric Gordon. Years after the film was released, an untrue rumor spread that the actor was NBA player Eric Gordon.
