Mods - is it too early for a Rakeem Christmas Jr thread?

Check out this article - with quote from MJ himself!

Michael Jordan Is Now Grandfather to Adorable Baby Boy Who He Has so Much Fun With

NBA legend Michael Jordan’s only daughter, Jasmine, has a son, and the basketball star is relishing being a Grandpa. Last year, Jordan shared some bits about being a grandfather for the first time

“It’s fun because I can actually hold him and play with him and I’m having fun watching him.”

Reading between the lines - he's already training hard core with MJ

Little Melo recently turned 14 and was just allowed to get an IG account. Mom didn't want to, but he convinced her that he needed to promote his basketball videos. His first one...

Lena Headey follows him. That's kind of interesting.

Maybe she wants a Game of Basketball...

How tall is he now? Doesn’t look to be more than like 5’6ish?

If I recall his old man grew from an average PG size to 6-8 pretty quickly. I'm guessing based on zero insight he ends up a guard - 6-2 to 6-5 ish

La La Anthony Shows How Much Son Kiyan, 14, Has Grown: 'He's Taller Than Me'

This is a legacy we have a shot at

Gonna be awesome when he commits to Syracuse to play for his dad

Do we know if he has the "want to"?

I would be legitimately sad if he went somewhere else. Even as a walk on. I think Carmelo would be too. How are you going somewhere else when you're practicing in the building named after your dad?

I love how she made a big deal that her 14 year old son is taller than she is. Probably 99.5% (if not higher) of 14 year old boys are taller than their mothers.
That said, he looks quite tall.

 

[4evaOrange]

Early comparison. Looks like melo, plays like melo, must be melo.

Yep. He’s a Carmelo clone.

She's 5'6" according to google and those heels are adding a few inches.

Looks a lot like Benny...

At least he doesn't look like Kevin Garnett.

Wow. I now have a frame of reference. My nephew is 14 and i watched his teams games this summer. Kiyan would have destroyed this league. Way more advanced than what i was watching here.

 

[hoopsupstate]

His game has a lot of resemblance to his dad. His jumper looks just like his dad. Check out the turn around on the baseline.

SU needs to get Melo and his son on campus. He needs to start feeling the love from SU fans.

Looks like Melo can teach. If he can coach (must know something about BB), perhaps he could be successor to Boeheim. Penny Hardaway is doing OK at Memphis.
If he brings Kiyan, I can hear the bitchin about nepotism and minutes played on this board.
So it goes.

He needs a degree. Would be nice if he got one.

Penny ... Yeah not so lately
