Michael Jordan's son quits basketball

[Macken]

not a bad choice by him, its hard to fill those shoes.. but i heard that he might have started this year at illinois..

This is a good move.

Focusing on his studies rather than basketball is a more "certain" decision than putting your life into basketball's hands. Good job, kid.

[Yawkey Way]

good for him. Shows he can make his own decision, i'm sure MJ is 100% behind him as well.

[Flight24]

QUITTER.

[Warner2BruceTD]

the fuck is this shit

[Esjay]

Good for him. All you douche bags calling him a quitter need to STFU.

I'm glad he's trying to make his own way in the world.

The Jordan name can only get you so much playing time also maybe he just doesnt like basketball all that much to have it the #1 thing in his life

[RainboUnicorn]

Good for him. Let him do what he wants. Jordan's shoes will never be filled. Not by his sons or anyone else for that matter.

Well one of the main reasons is he's awful. Like, not very good at all. He was mainly recruited by Illinois so they could have a better chance of grabbing MJ's youngest, Marcus. Marcus has regressed a lot in the past years and I think he's at UCF right now.

Is this the "defense specialist" on the Illini? He's pretty bad. So I am glad he's going to concentrate on studies.

Jeffrey became a very good bench player. He wasn't recruited by Illinois, so your story is bunk. He walked-on to the team, and played so well that he earned a scholarship. He was one of the few guys on the Illini who actually understood the game of basketball...very rarely would he make a dumb pass or a stupid play. He was short and actually unathletic, but he was a heady player who certainly would have gotten a lot of minutes this year. Sad to see him leave the team.

[FedEx227]

Yeah, my bad I forgot about the walk-on thing. Don't think he entirely earned that scholarship, I'm sure the millions of dollars poured in by MJ had a bit to do with it too.

I still didn't think he was any good.

He wasn't good when he first started playing, but IMO he improved a lot last year. Very dependable. I think he did earn the scholarship, because he was one of the first guards off the bench. I've seen much worse players at Illinois be on scholarship.

Does their name start with Trent and end with Meachem?
