We all go through phases in life and for some of the greats, each new phase is nothing short of a challenge. For Michael Jordan, he might treat this like how he has always done with every phase of life, like a competition. Greatest grandfather of all time?

Yes, for those that didn’t know, Michael is now a grandpa. The Basketball legend welcomed his first grandson and “Grandpa Mike” is now definitely a thing in the Jordan household.
The Bulls legend’s daughter Jasmine Jordan just welcomed her first child, Rakeem Michael Christmas, and just last year, he made his public debut.
Michael Jordan’s newest career!
Michael’s latest venture is “grandpa business”. As the Bulls legend turns a new chapter in life, he will be looking forward to spending precious time with his grandson, who is just a toddler.
In an interview on TODAY, Michael was interviewed about philanthropy and how he seeks to change the world apart from basketball.
“I saw your face light up”, says interviewer Craig Melvin, referring to MJ’s grandson. Michael replies, “It’s actually fun, I can hold him and play with him and I’m having fun watching him”.
The interview took place at the Novant Health, Michael Jordan Family Medical Clinic. For a better glimpse of Rakeem, you can take a look at this interview.
Expanding the legacy of the Michael Jordan name
Jordan has 5 kids. Three with ex-wife Juanita Vanoy and twins with current wife, Yvette Prieto. Michael’s legacy will continue to foster and burn for generations to come.
And to add to his lineage, he now has a grandson. Incidentally, his son-in-law, Rakeem Christmas was also a college basketball player so there is the odd chance Jordan’s grandson will play basketball.
Either way, it is good to know the Jordan family is healthy and expanding. And you can bet Michael will try to be the best at being a grandpa.
