Baby Rakeem looked to be having so much fun with the balls and didn't seem to need any help with them. His father captioned the video with the word, "Mood," and a green heart emoji.

Rakeem and Jasmine welcomed their son in May 2019, making basketball legend, Michael Jordan, a grandfather for the first time. Jasmine shared a cute photo of her baby holding her finger in his little hand, and captioned it thus:

The picture also showed a tattoo of the number, "25," significant of Rakeem's jersey number when he was a player for Syracuse University, where he met Jasmine.

While at the University, Jasmine majored in sports management, while Rakeem was a star for the Syracuse University's basketball team, and helped them to reach the Final Four in 2013.
