As the rapper Lil Wayne once waxed poetic, “I never had height, but, boy, I got heart.”
Michael Jordan’s sons Jeffrey and Marcus Jordan didn’t grow to be nearly as tall as their larger-than-life father. As it turns out, Jeffrey stands at 6 feet, 1 inch and Marcus stands at 6 feet, 3 inches. In contrast, the senior Jordan towers above them at a staggering 6 feet 6 inches. Alas, their differences don’t end there. Many believe that Jeffrey and Marcus’ athletic abilities also wane in comparison to that of their father. Jeffrey averaged a meager 1.2 points per game while playing at the collegiate level. Meanwhile, Marcus did somewhat better, averaging 12.3 points per game.

It should be noted, however, that Jeffrey is adamant that he did beat his super-talented father one time during a game of hoops. “Yes, I have beaten him, and I put it on the record,” he told Today’s former anchor Matt Lauer during an on-campus interview at the University of Illinois. “We don’t play that much, though. I wouldn’t want him to hold back anything because that wouldn’t make any of us better.”
