Good for him. He must be tall to be Jordan's "big" brother. Kidding.
I love success stories.

No doubt some proud parents there.
Thank you James Jordon, for your honorable service. We appreciate it..
A real class act. I wish him fair winds and following seas in his retirement.
God bless you, Sgt. Maj. Jordan. While your brother is a phenomenal individual and has rightfully become a sports legend, what you gave to your country was FAR more valuable ......and appreciated.

Thank you for your exemplary service to our Country, James Jordan ! Who is Michael Jordan? (just kidding)
"It seems Mrs. Jordan managed to raise two extraordinary individuals. My hat is off to her."
yup, but wasn't there a Mr Jordan too?
The Jordan father was murdered several years ago and the skunk that did it was captured
Rush was saying (yesterday?) that Michael is a huge Dem and when approached he declined to lend his name for support to their party b/c Republicans buy Nikes too.
Too bad more "celebs" don't follow his lead. Not b/c of their (lack of) stature, but just so we don't have to listen to them!
It was a group of skunks.....very brutal little pieces of sh*t. None of them got what they deserved, imo.
Good point.
The elder Jordan was only 57 when he died....
LUMBERTON, N.C. (AP) -- An ex-convict was convicted Thursday of murdering basketball star Michael Jordan's father, who was shot during a holdup as he awoke from a nap along a dark highway in his $40,000 luxury car.
Daniel Green, 21, could get the death penalty for shooting 57-year-old James R. Jordan in the chest in 1993.
God bless James Jordan!
It was a group of them....they shot him in the head,ditched his body in a swamp or a creek or such, stole his Lexus and then drove it up here to Fort Bragg/Fayetteville. During the trial, it was reported that they realized the identity of their victim b/c of the ring he was wearing......a championship ring earned by his son. I beleive the exact quote was "I think we just shot Micheal Jordan's daddy".
I don't think any of them got the death penalty, but its been years and I could be wrong.
