Marcus Jordan, the son of NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan, made personal changes following his February arrest in Orlando, Fla., after his Lamborghini SUV got stuck on train tracks leading to various charges, including drug possession. The former UCF basketball standout posted on Instagram over the weekend that he was 40 days sober and working to improve his physical well-being.
Originally charged with cocaine possession, police later downgraded charges to possession of ketamine, along with DUI, property damage and resisting arrest.
Ketamine is an anesthetic often confused for cocaine and has hallucinogenic effects. Footage of Jordan’s arrest shows an officer telling Jordan he had concerns about his “level of impairment” and smells alcohol, before not allowing him to re-enter his vehicle with a female companion. Jordan told police he made a wrong turn.
“I appreciate your concerns, but I’m not inebriated,” Jordan tells police in the video. “I’m not anything that can not drive home. The thing is, I’m not familiar with this area. I made a right (turn), I thought I was making a right on the highway, but I made a (expletive) right on the train tracks.”
Marcus Jordan is the second oldest child of Michael Jordan. He played three seasons for the UCF Knights, where he averaged 12.3 points per game from 2009-12. Since basketball retirement, Jordan became an influential fashion figure as the owner of Trophy Room, an upscale sneaker and apparel boutique based in Orlando.

Sormani esnoba título histórico do Corinthians: “Não é campeão”
Fábio Sormani opina sobre o futebol brasileiro. Foto: Reprodução Sormani diminuiu o impacto do Mundial de Clubes da Fifa de 2000, vencido pelo Corinthians contra o Vasco da Gama, no Maracanã. Na ocasião, o Alvinegro Paulista participou da competição por ser o atual campeão do país-sede, e não por ter conquistado a Copa Libertadores da América. “Há controversas. Tem um só (Mundial). Aquele primeiro é torneio de verão experimental. É uma vergonha um time da Europa ou América do Sul entrar como convidado, o time tem que conquistar a vaga no campo. Um time precisar entrar no campeonato por causa de vaga, eu acho uma vergonha. Eu não considero campeão”, argumentou o jornalista.

NAD(H)LEDEM: Solidní divočina. Disciplína nás srazila, ale rozhodčí zase nechápu
Disciplína nás srazila a hodně ovlivnila zápas. Samozřejmě to bylo i pár kontroverzních rozhodnutí. Už po třetím utkání jsem říkal, jak se mi nelíbí vzájemná vyloučení, když jde jen o jeden jasný faul.Proti Dánům byl totiž Martin Nečas vyloučen za filmování, ale co tam dneska na začátku třetí třetiny předvedl Logan Cooley? Přihrávání jak sviňa, neporovnatelné s Nečim. Ale místo toho vyfasoval dvojku Kuba Krejčík za nesportovní chování a přišli jsme tím o přesilovku.Foto: Vít Šimánek, ČTKSouboj Klapka vs. Garland. Na trestné lavici skončili oba.Klasická první třetina na tomhle šampionátu. Američani mají soupisku nabitou hvězdnými jmény a když se rozjeli v útočném pásmu, těžko se to zastavovalo. V úvodu nás mleli a po zásluze šli do vedení. Jen skvělý Karel Vejmelka držel naděje na výhru.Pak znovu přišlo zlepšení ve druhé části a Pastův první gól soupeře dost zaskočit. Následně navíc přišla povedená souhra v početní výhodě. Dostali jsme se na koně a srazili […]

2025 Indianapolis 500: Marcus Ericsson seeks his second 500 win as IndyCar looks to seize its big moment
Getty Images There is an affable and personable quality to Marcus Ericsson that makes him very approachable. Perhaps in a way that's unfitting for someone who holds the very key to his city in his hands.Living in Indianapolis, Ind. by way of Sweden, Ericsson has done something that few in the city have, and sometimes may be stopped for a picture or from a fan who knows who he is and wants a moment of his time. But by and large, Ericsson can walk down the streets of downtown Indy, blend in with the rank and file, and not be recognized -- despite having won the Indianapolis 500.Ericsson, a full-time IndyCar driver and the 2022 winner of The Greatest Spectacle in Racing, is among the core of present day IndyCar stars whose day in the national spotlight is coming this […]
