The NBA legend shares three kids with his former wife, Juanita Vanoy, and twins with his current wife, Yvette Prieto.

Although both of Jordan’s sons had played college basketball, none of them really pursued basketball as a profession. MJ’s children are also associated with his Jordan Brand and are integrated with the family ventures. Here’s what you need to know about all five of Michael Jordan’s children.

When in college, he refused to wear Adidas shoes and wore Nike Jordan instead, which spurred something of an issue. Apparently, his college was under a contract with Adidas, and the incident led to them losing millions out of the deal.
