It was just 4 years ago when Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan became a grandfather. Born to MJ’s eldest daughter Jasmine, Rakeem Michael Christmas is the youngest member of the prestigious Jordan family and the apple of the eye of every single member, including His Airness himself. MJ found success in the world of sports, dominating the basketball court and creating an everlasting legacy. Judging by Jasmine’s hilarious social media post, however, it seems like the 30-year-old doesn’t want the same for her little bundle of joy.

A few hours ago, Jasmine Jordan took to her official Instagram account to share a clip with her 179,000 followers. Highlighting it on her story, the clip was an edit of two different videos.

The post was initially shared by blogger Tejal Thomas on multiple platforms. It showcases the different types of parents at their kid’s games. In the clip, she enthusiastically waves in the direction of her child whilst holding a big water bottle, imitating a parent watching their child’s game in person. She describes this woman as “The Mom I try to be at the games ……..”

The clip then switches to the second part, which features LSU Tigers women’s team head coach Kim Mulkey. The 61-year-old Hall of Famer can be seen ruthlessly going off during a game, either at her players or the referees. This is a more apt representation of how both Tejal and Jasmine see themselves at their kids’ games as the words change to, “Me Instead”.

Ever since her son’s birth, Jasmine Jordan has been quite open about the new experiences that her child has brought into her life. One of these experiences has led to the 30-year-old discovering a new side of her father.
