[Saba Sports News] In a recent Instagram video, Marcus Jordan showcased his basketball prowess while promoting the Trophy Room x Air Jordan 1 Low OG sneaker launch in March 2024. Previously an NCAA player, Marcus transitioned to entrepreneurship, founding the Trophy Room, a premium sneaker shop in Los Angeles that has moved to an online-only model. Despite being Michael Jordan’s son, Marcus stirred controversy with allegations of preferential distribution of the previous Trophy Room x Air Jordan launch, accusations he firmly denies.
Besides his business ventures, Marcus has been in the spotlight for his now-ended relationship with Larsa Pippen, Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife. As a college athlete, Marcus played for the University of Central Florida Knights, posting solid stats over three seasons but not reaching the NBA. In contrast, while his numbers were respectable, they didn’t hint at an NBA future, leading him to pivot to business after college.
Marcus’s college career was notable, with averages that suggest a significant talent, even if it didn’t lead to professional basketball, distinguishing him from the average businessman or casual player.
