Prior to being able to dribble (or for that matter walk) Jordan and his older brother Kyle have had a unique relationship. Kyle is an outstanding young man he also played the game of basketball (with the support of his entire family)he is now in college as a pre-med student (not playing basketball, but fully academic scholarship). This young man should be held up as the role model to any brother or sister. He finds the time to mentor not just his brother, but other kids that play the game. Every parent that has had a child who has played with Jordan has been impressed by Jordan's humble spirit. Jordan is always encouraging of his teammates. He is simply a child that really has a "gift". To come here and see the "harsh" statements with regard to Jordan and Kyle is beyond sad. I admire this family for encouraging both of their children to work hard and keep all of their options open. Only God knows what life has in store for Jordan. However in the meantime what is so wrong about being prepared? These young men are not robbing stores, not doing drugs, not skipping school (quiet the opposite-Kyle graduated in the top 5% of his class and was the only African American Male in his county to be inducted into the National Honor Society)So I believe both he and Jordan will be fine. PS. His parents don't need the kids to succeed for them. They want the best for their kids just like any other parent. Let us not kill the messenger, let's just appreciate the message.

Throughout my time I have seen some pretty good players at young ages. Players like Derrick Rose, Carmelo Anthony, Josh Smith etc.. I must say that if this Jordan kid keeps improving his game he has a chance to do some special things in the future.Some of the things he does reminds me of when I watched the players in the list I mentioned above. Jordan seems to know a lot a young age which cannot possibly be a negative thing. Keep up the work Jordan. I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for you. I coach AAU basketball out here in Chicago.

I also know Kyle and his parents. Jordan has all of the support ANYONE could ask for, and knowing his mom I have come to learn that education is such a huge thing in their family. I also know that if Jordan didnt want to play (or play as much as he does) his family would support him. Basically what I'm saying is no one is trying to PUSH him into doing this, he loves playing basketball. :] I know Jordan personally. I also know Kyle and his parents.
