Marcus Jordan, the son of NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan, made personal changes following his February arrest in Orlando, Fla., after his Lamborghini SUV got stuck on train tracks leading to various charges, including drug possession. The former UCF basketball standout posted on Instagram over the weekend that he was 40 days sober and working to improve his physical well-being.
“I appreciate your concerns, but I’m not inebriated,” Jordan tells police in the video. “I’m not anything that cannot drive home. The thing is, I’m not familiar with this area. I made a right (turn), I thought I was making a right on the highway, but I made a (expletive) right on the train tracks.”
