Following the marriage, Juanita and Michael went on to have two more children. Their second child Marcus Jordan was born on December 24, 1990, and was followed by a daughter, Jasmine M. Jordan who was born on December 7, 1992. While all three of Jordan’s and Juanita’s children played basketball, none of them decided to go to the NBA. As a mother, Juanita always encouraged her kids to not take credit from their father and make a name for themselves.
“When they were growing up, most coaches wanted them to wear No. 23. insisted that they not do that. It was important to me. I wanted to make sure that their skills were going to be what they made them and that it was based on how hard they worked.”
