While his fierceness and competitive spirit earned him all the laurels in the world, MJ’s popularity had taken a hit too. Jordan was considered a tough teammate to play with and a bitter person to deal with. Jordan’s fight with Steve Kerr and other stories from the time too did not help his public persona.

However, Jordan received some validation regarding his character. That too, from arguably one of the most important people in his life.

Michael Jordan’s son Marcus Jordan was the one who clarified some queries about his father’s persona.

What did Marcus Jordan have to say about Michael Jordan’s competitive nature?

Growing up as arguably the GOAT’s son must have been tough. However, Marcus Jordan reveals how off the court, Jordan was a good dad who didn’t let a lot of pressure get to his kids.

Marcus, in an interview, said “One of the biggest misconceptions was that he couldn’t turn that [competitiveness] off. He definitely could turn it off and be a dad. But when it was on, it was on.”

Marcus did make an attempt to follow in his father’s footsteps. It just did not work out for the aspiring guard. Marcus emulated his famous father’s success in another department though.

A la Michael, Marcus also made a wave in the footwear industry with The Trophy Room. A billion-dollar father gets a successful CEO son to add to the family riches. How much money is too much money, eh?
