Jasmine answered a few questions centered around how she would describe her father’s competitive nature during an interview to The Undefeated. She was also asked about stories that demonstrate Jordan’s competitive nature. To this, she explained how Jordan will go after anything he wants when there was competition.
“If competitiveness was judged on a scale of 1 to 10, my dad would probably be a 50. He plays no games. He takes no prisoners. If you’re gonna challenge him, if you’re going to play him in a game, you better bring it. There’s no denying it. He knows when to turn it off, and I’m grateful for that,” Jasmine stated.
