However, that wasn’t the case for his daughter, Jasmine Jordan.

Taking notes from Vanoy, Jasmine Jordan has grown into a fine mother to her son, Rakeem. That’s far from all though. At just 30, she works as a field representative for the Jordan brand. Jasmine Jordan has led the new age of athletes, signing a record 11 WNBA stars to the iconic Jordan emblem.

Her work ethic is inspired by Michael Jordan, who put himself through hell to become an all-time great. On the other hand, her leadership and selfless approach are a product of her mother’s nurturing.
