Michael Jordan's daughter, Jasmine Jordan didn't follow in her famous father's footsteps with a career in basketball. It is reported that she tried the sport at school but decided that it wasn't something she was passionate about.

However, Jasmine has stayed within the family and works as an executive for the Jordan brand. She works with players from the Charlotte Hornets which is a team owned by her father.

Jasmine hasn't strayed too far from basketball on the homefront either. She is engaged to professional basketball player, Rakeem Christmas Sr. The young couple has a one-year-old son named Rakeem Jr.

During an interview with The Undefeated, Jasmine joked about being 6-foot-1 and not being a great basketball player despite her height. However, she admitted that she hoped her son would one day inherit her height and be great at basketball.

Rakeem Jr. is Michael's

. The family was tight-lipped about their son's name after he was born and would only refer to him on social media as R.M.C.

Jasmine and Rakeem Sr. later revealed that he had taken both his father and grandfather's name and his full name was Rakeen Michael Christmas.
