Marcus Jordan, the son of NBA icon Michael Jordan, is celebrating six months of sobriety following a difficult number of years with substance abuse.

Marcus, 34, posted a gallery of images to his Instagram account – showing off some photos of his life in recent months.

Marcus Jordan enjoys activities such as fishing trips, visiting NASCAR tracks with his father, the celebrated six-time NBA champion, as well as attending live performances by rapper Lil Wayne and celebrating with champagne.

Having played basketball at the University of Central Florida, Marcus received a lot of support in the comments section of his post from notable figures including Olympian Michael Phelps and comedian Jaleel White.

It’s been a rocky road for the former college basketball star, who was charged with possession and DUI earlier this year.

Marcus was arrested for DUI and cocaine possession back in February after he drunkenly got his Lamborghini Urus struck on a train track in Florida.

According to the Maitland police department, officers noticed Marcus’ headlights were on a railroad track. Upon approaching his luxury SUV, they observed bumper damage and scattered rocks, indicating that Marcus might have been attempting to drive away but was unable to.

The authorities suspected he had fled from a nearby traffic stop, though Marcus purportedly claimed he had simply made a wrong turn and was in need of assistance to remove his car from the tracks.

Officers noted a strong smell of alcohol, slurred speech and bloodshot eyes.

Marcus reportedly confessed to having visited a gentleman’s club and consuming alcohol before his arrest, but he maintained that his blood alcohol concentration was below the legal limit of 0.8.

However, police said he failed three sobriety tests before he was placed under arrest. 

Officers wrote in their report they found a white powdery substance in Marcus’ pocket that tested positive for cocaine.

Marcus was combative as officers tried to put him in their squad car, per the police report, but ‘was singing the entire way’ to the jail.

Last month, Marcus reportedly reached an agreement with prosecutors to close his DUI case.

As part of the agreement, Jordan must write a 250-word groveling apology letter to one of the police officers who arrested him.

According to TMZ, Jordan must also meet a series of other requirements over the next 12 months if prosecutors are to drop all charges.

The 34-year-old must also submit to random drug testing, make a $1,000 donation, get an interlock device fitted to his car and undergo 50 hours of community service. 

He reportedly became estranged from his father amid his own long-term romantic relationship with Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of Michael’s legendary Bulls teammate, Scottie Pippen.

 Larsa is said to have dumped Jordan early last year after his wayward behavior became too much for her to handle.

She opened up about the breakup in an interview last year where she gave a  diplomatic explanation as to why she decided to close the door on the relationship.

Speaking on the Amy & TJ podcast on iheartRadio in March, Pippen said she realized Marcus wasn’t her ‘guy’ after she spent time away from him, giving her clarity on their relationship.

The former couple started dating back in 2022 and made headlines for both their 17-year age gap and because of their Chicago Bulls connection.
