Evidently little Michael Jeffrey Jordan has all growns up. Or – he hopes – has nearly done so. Little Michael Jr. is now 16 years old and is currently at the prestigious Nike summer hoops camp for top prospects.
Unfortunately for Mike Jr., he’s not 6’6″ like his dad – he’s 6’0″. Big difference. The thing is, even if he were an exact clone of his dad, odds are great that he’d still never approach his father’s success. Michael the elder was one of those rare combinations of talent, desire and circumstance. You can’t just repeat that.
Instead, the poor kid has to live with all of the expectations, but only most of the talent (and height).
BTW, sorry about the title of this piece. There’s no excuse for that. My bad. Won’t happen again.
