Since the premiere of ‘The Last Dance’ Michael Jordan has been the subject of nearly every basketball conversation. In an interview with the Associated Press, Michael Jordan’s daughter Jasmine said she had to google her father’s name to find out why he is so important. “When I was a child, and growing up during the time, I didn’t really understand what was happening because I was so young, and it just didn’t really resonate until I got older.

At this point I’m sure she understands why His Airness, to her, daddy, is the icon he is. And if she were to search his name right at this moment, there’d be plenty to read. I wonder if she’s gotten into any Jordan-LeBron debates? I just hope one day my kids also have a reason, a good one that is, to google me.
