“He’s Not Like MJ”: Drawing Parallels Between Michael Jordan and 4YO Son, Jasmine Spills the Beans on Effects of Stardom appeared on www.essentiallysports.com by EssentiallySports.
Michael Jordan is like an echo that keeps reverberating in the media world. His playing days brought him fame and his legacy is discussed as one of the best. His six-championships run with Scottie Pippen hasn’t been replicated since that time. Therefore, it is natural there are a lot of fans who would like to know about his children. While they didn’t even get close to MJ’s level as basketball players, they have independently pursued various endeavors.
His youngest daughter Jasmine Jordan isn’t in the limelight all that much. But she can provide an intimate perspective about the Basketball phenom.

Jasmine gave birth to Rakeem Michael Christmas more than four years ago. This marked the first time that the Chicago Bulls legend became a grandfather. In a candid session, she sat down with the host of Birth Queen, A YouTube show. She discussed her personal life and her experience as a mother. The host asks her, “Do you feel you have a little more pressure because of what your second name is?”
To this, Rakeem’s mother expressed that people thought “you probably had easy, you didn’t really struggle, and it is all connected to that name.” Against this haunting-name question, she continues, “I am like, you guys remove that, I am a mom, that’s it. There is no other extra layer.” Then she delved into how her son views MJ, continuing, “My child has no idea who his grandfather is. He is four, he is just chillin with grandpa like ‘hey,’ he is not like, ‘MJ!’ By the time he realizes, he is gonna do the same thing I did, probably Google.”

She revealed how people call Rakeem “lucky” for having a basketball legend as his grandfather. She exclaims, “He don’t even know. That’s his grandpa. Who cares! Who cares!” These statements display how Jasmine has internalized her identity as a mother and wants her family to be more than a shadow of her father. Her life revolves around her child and since childcare requires immense patience and hard work, she wants herself to be known as a mom more than anything.
