Michael Jordan is widely considered the greatest player in NBA history. The Hall of Famer was a true spectacle on the court. And it didn’t take long for him to rise to global stardom. MJ mesmerized fans with his skill on a nightly basis, and his legacy will arguably never be in question. However, what if in reality His Airness isn’t even the best Jordan in his family?
MJ was the one in his family who made his NBA dream come true. As the third overall pick, he won six championships and collected accolades almost for fun. As perhaps one of the best two-way superstars to ever step on the floor, Jordan would always be the toughest competition. Well, except for the guy who Jordan shared his entire life with.

MJ’s brother Larry Jordan showed off his skills against his brother back in the day. And fans couldn’t believe what they had witnessed.
Michael Jordan isn’t even the best in his family?
When Michael Jordan’s famous ‘The Last Dance‘ documentary came out, fans were introduced to Larry Jordan. MJ’s eldest brother who is just 5’8″ in stature. However, he was the main reason Michael Jordan became one of the best. Acting as his mentor, he helped the Chicago Bulls legend polish his game. Likewise, it was only the stature that kept Larry from going to the NBA himself.

The only reason Larry didn’t explode was due to his height. His younger brother, Michael Jordan shot up to 6’4″. However, even the standard setter admitted Larry was a better player. He said if Larry was blessed with size, MJ would just be known as his brother. While the eldest one didn’t make it, MJ lived out his dream. But it is surely food for thought to imagine what Larry Jordan could have done even at his stature.
