Meanwhile, Jasmine, who previously admitted she had to Google her dad during her childhood days to learn more about him, studied sports management at Syracuse University.

Today, she works in the marketing department of her father's brand, managing Jordan players signed to the former NBA star's team, the Charlotte Hornets. Jasmine is engaged to Rakeem Christmas and shares a son with him.

Jordan's older kids have spoken in the past about what it was like to be raised by him, with the general belief among them being that their father is a private person who enjoys being out of the spotlight.

Jeffrey, Marcus, and Jasmine have also been on many interviews following the release of the ESPN docuseries, "The Last Dance," which focused on Jordan's last season in the NBA and the Chicago Bulls.

The series revealed more about Jordan and allowed his kids more insight into the life of their dad. During a podcast interview they granted, Jasmine revealed it took a while for her father to embrace his role as a grandfather when she had her son with Christmas.

She said the former Chicago Bulls star wanted her son to call him Michael, but she refused and told him to accept it, which he is now officially embracing. Jasmine also said Jordan loved her son so much and that it was awesome to see them get together.

Jordan has got it all. From an impressive playing career in the NBA to having children and a family who adores him. He has proven that he is indeed a living legend.
