12 Years After Failed College Stint, Michael Jordan’s Son Makes Return To Basketball Court

Michael Jordan‘s son, Marcus Jordan, shares his father’s love and passion for basketball. However, unlike his father, Marcus didn’t experience the same level of success in his basketball career. Recently, Jordan made a surprising return to the court. He also gave fans a glimpse of his return, sharing moments of him playing on the court on his Instagram Stories.

Alongside the story, he wrote, “Back on the Woods.” He shared another clip of him dunking the ball, on his story. What’s interesting is that he reshared the post from another ‘Taylorsportsgroup‘ Instagram page. While the reason behind his return remains unknown, witnessing The Traitors star back on the court after a 12-year break is undeniably entertaining. 

Beginning his career at Loyola Academy and Whitney Young High School, he later joined the University of Central Florida and played from 2009 to 2012. While the family legacy loomed large, Marcus couldn’t have as much success as Jordan did. Throughout his college career, he averaged 12.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 2.7 assists. His freshman year in 2009–10 saw him score 8.0 points per game, contributing to a total of 1152 points over his college career.

Marcus Jordan received advice from Michael Jordan

Back in 2012, the Trophy Room owner decided to leave the UCF basketball team. Later, he graduated from the University with a degree in hospitality management. However, Marcus always mentioned how he was happy to be a part of the game. In an episode of his joint podcast with his girlfriend Larsa Pippen, he spoke about his love and dedication to playing basketball. He even stated how the Chicago Bulls legend guided him during his college years. 

Speaking of his father, Marcus shared, “He (Michael Jordan) was giving me tips and pointers whenever I had questions and stuff like that,” He added, “but really he was just telling me to be focused and work hard every day because eventually, it will pay off.”

While Marcus might not have been able to achieve success in his basketball career, he showed the same dedication to his business, and it clearly paid off. After trying his hands at basketball, Marcus started his luxury sneaker boutique, ‘The Trophy Room.’
