Heir Jordan?

There was Jordan driving the lane, then coolly sinking a jumper while hanging in midair. But this was neither Chicago Stadium nor the MCI Center . This was the Wooddale High gymnasium in Memphis on June 24, and that was Jeffrey Michael Jordan , elder son of You Know Who, playing in the AAU 13-and-under national tournament. The Air apparent, a 13-year-old, 5'9" swingman, debuted with a 13-point game as his Deerfield (III.) Rising Stars fell 71-51 to Virginia 's Prince William Pacers. Jeffrey (whose 11-year-old brother, Marcus, also plays AAU ball) added 18 points in the last of his four games. "He has a decent body but didn't have unbelievable hops or anything," said Ron Higgins, a sportswriter for Memphis 's The Commercial Appeal . Still, history shows the danger of underestimating a Jordan. "You can't forget," said Higgins, "that his dad was cut from his high school team in the ninth grade."
