Jasmine Jordan says she had to Google her father Michael Jordan to find out why he was famous

27-year-old says 'I found out a lot clearly'

Michael Jordan’s daughter has revealed she had to Google her father to find out why he was famous.

On Monday, Jasmine Jordan appeared on Good Morning America with her brother Jeffrey Jordan to discuss their father’s career and legacy following the conclusion of the 10-episode docu-series The Last Dance.

According to Jasmine, watching the ESPN series about her father’s basketball fame has been “eye-opening” because she was “so young” during the peak of Jordan’s career.

“I didn’t understand it, I had kids and teachers and stuff at school telling me: 'It's incredible your father is who he is.' And I'm thinking you all haven't met my father to my knowledge, how do you know this?” Jasmine told host Michael Strahan.

“So I did, I Googled him. And I found a lot clearly,” the 27-year-old continued, adding that she told her father after and “he just laughed and was like: 'Hey, there's no way to really tell you anything like that.’”

Jasmine also said her mother, Juanita Vanoy, played a part in keeping a sense of normalcy in their lives, for which she is “grateful”.

“Between him and my mom, they made sure that we felt like he was normal as can be and we grew up very normal and for that I'm grateful,” she said.

During the interview, Jeffrey also reflected on being able to see the former Chicago Bulls star in a “different light”.

“It's been amazing to see him in a different light," the 31-year-old said. "We got to see him when he came home and he was done with work - but being able to see him in his element, in his atmosphere with the team and see all the ups and downs of that season has been a treat to watch."
