Michael Jordan’s response after watching his two sons ‘get torched’ by future NBA star on national TV

Michael Jordan’s reaction to seeing his two sons get savaged by a future NBA player was as cold as one could hope for.

With their father, arguably the greatest basketball player of all time, and an indoor court in their home, you’d think some of them JordanMagical abilities are said to have been passed on to his offspring.

Twins Marcus and Jeffrey Jordan played in high school for Loyola Academy but never progressed to the NBA.

But in 2007, they were the victims of a truly sensational display from future NBA star Eric Gordon.

The game between Loyola and North Central was broadcast live on ESPN and Jordan was in attendance to watch his sons play.

But after leading 15-7 early in the game, they ended up getting completely destroyed by their opponents, with Gordon completely running the show.

North Central won 88-47 and Gordon scored 43 points – almost more than Loyola, ranked 22nd in the country at the time, managed collectively.

Marcus and Jeffrey were tasked with watching Gordon, but to no avail, as he made numerous three-point shots.

To further inflame the situation, Gordon wore number 23 – Jordan’s signature number for the Chicago Bulls – and was even given the nickname “Air Gordon” from the crowd’s chants.

One of his dunks in the final quarter was straight out of a Jordan video.

The game was one of the most-watched high school basketball games on ESPN and Gordon’s performance is considered one of the greatest high school performances.

Of course, the cameras were constantly on Jordan in the stands and his facial expression was priceless.

“It was awesome,” Gordon said when asked about dunks on Jordan’s threads.

“I just had the opportunity to show how good I was. I’d rather see my team win than score so many goals or show a fantastic game. I’d rather see my team win.”

Gordon was drafted into the NBA by the Los Angeles Clippers in 2008 and played two seasons with the team.

He also represented the New Orleans Hornets, Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns and Philadelphia 76ers over 16 seasons in the NBA and was the NBA Three-Point Contest champion in 2017.
