Marcus Jordan Announces Personal Changes Following February Arrest

The son of basketball legend Michael Jordan shares his journey towards sobriety after facing legal troubles.

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.”

Marcus Jordan is the second eldest child of Michael Jordan. He played three seasons for the UCF Knights, averaging 12.3 points per game from 2009-12. Following his basketball career, Jordan transitioned to a notable fashion figure as the owner of Trophy Room, a luxury sneaker and apparel boutique based in Orlando.
