What did Marcus Jordan write in his Instagram story?
The National Basketball Association (NBA) legend, Michael Jordan's son, Marcus Jordan recently shared a picture of a gifted poster on his social media. While sending a shoutout to his mother Juanita Vanoy, Jordan's ex-wife, Marcus wrote that the last time he reposted the dunk video on his Instagram story, it reminded him of the poster his mother gave him on his birthday a few years ago.
"S/O TO MY LOVELY MOTHER @IAMTHEONLYONEJUANITA FOR GIFTING ME THIS DOPE POSTER OF THAT PREVIOUS DUNK, POSTING THAT REMINDED ME WHEN SHE GIFTED ME THIS A BUNCH OF BDAYS AGO," Marcus wrote in the caption.

Marcus Jordan gets nostalgic after sharing the memorable video of his dunk
Marcus Jordan previously played basketball in both high school and college. He wanted to play basketball professionally just like his father and also got some tips from the legend himself.
At 6-foot-3, Marcus was below the average height of the NBA but he had an impressive jump. Reminiscing the good older days, Marcus shared a dunk he made during his playing days.
He reposted a video posted by 'Team Flight Brothers' where you can see his thunderous dunk on his opponent and soon turns towards the crowd all hyped up. In the caption, Marcus wrote that the salute was for his brother Jeffery who was in attendance.
"Hahaha throwback. That salute was to my brother [Jeffrey] in the stands, they T'd me up for it. Times have changed," Marcus wrote in his Instagram story.
In the video, Marcus receives an inbound pass at the free-throw line. He immediately jumps and dunks over the defender which makes the crowd go crazy. Marcus played for the University of Central Florida from 2009 to 2012. In those particular three seasons, he averaged 12.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.
