With a basketball icon such as Michael Jordan as a father, it was natural for his offspring to follow the legacy. His two sons, Marcus and Jeffrey partly did so by playing professional basketball. While they couldn’t nearly replicate His Airness’ dazzling impact, they found a passion seeing him walk the path on the hardwood floor. However, that wasn’t the case for his daughter, Jasmine Jordan.
The 30-year-old diverted toward her mother Juanita Vanoy. Worshipping her as a role model, she proudly boasts her mother’s professional accolades. But tonight, it was extra special as Vanoy turned 64, and Jasmine pinned down a heartfelt message.

Jasmine Jordan and Vanoy share a tightly roped bond. She doesn’t just see her as a mother. For the 30-year-old, Vanoy is a mother, a friend, and an inspiration – the perfect portrait. Jasmine has always spoken highly of her mother even in terms of MJ’s impeccable success. Many days of tirelessly working on his craft might have been at the forefront of Michael Jordan being a global superstar. However, Jasmine also believes it was the women in his life that shaped him to be the model citizen he is today.
Naturally, Juanita Vanoy didn’t just play an integral role in Jordan’s professional exploits. She held down the house, imparted knowledge to her three children, and taught them how to stay humble. All these qualities made Jasmine Jordan look up to her.
As Juanita Vanoy turned 64, she shared a picture of the family minus her father, Michael Jordan. Tagged along was a message – “To My One & Only- Happy Birthday Mommy,” it read. This comes after her elder brother Marcus Jordan also dedicated an Instagram story to Vanoy for her birthday.

Taking notes from Vanoy, Jasmine Jordan has grown into a fine mother to her son, Rakeem. That’s far from all though. At just 30, she works as a field representative for the Jordan brand. Jasmine Jordan has led the new age of athletes, signing a record 11 WNBA stars to the iconic Jordan emblem.
Her work ethic is inspired by Michael Jordan, who put himself through hell to become an all-time great. On the other hand, her leadership and selfless approach are a product of her mother’s nurturing.
