The Jordan brand has been creating history over the past few months. They signed Kiki Rice of UCLA and another teenage women’s basketball sensation to NIL deals. Jasmine Jordan played an important role in closing both deals.

During a recent interview with footwearnews.com, she was asked about her leadership style. According to Jasmine, she has acquired certain qualities from both her parents. While Michael Jordan gave her the competitiveness and the mindset, Jasmine’s mother has taught her to never forget about family.

Jordan said, “My father, being the athlete that he is and the mindset that he has, combined with my mother and her upbringing and how she raised us to be very family oriented, I think that dictates how I show up in the workspace.” Jasmine Jordan is the youngest child of Michael Jordan and Juanita Vanoy. While growing up, she had to adhere to some very strict rules put in place by her parents.

Meanwhile, Jordan also talked about business, claiming that there’s no limit to how far her father’s Nike deal could have taken him. “Maybe that first Nike deal wouldn’t have been as low as it was,” she said.

It would have changed the game. He would have potentially approached his contracts with Nike differently. Looking at his Funko Pop collectibles or the fact that people still wear his UNC jersey, to reap the benefits from it today, we’re talking making trillions at this point,” Jordan added.
