The Last Dance doc fallout continues! Jasmine Jordan, daughter of the great Michael Jordan, has recently admitted that growing up, she did not really fully grasp the gravity of her father's immense popularity. So much so, that Jasmine even had to resort to Google in order for her to find out what the big deal was all about.
“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,” she said, via Jack Maloney of CBS Sports. “I laugh because I actually Googled my dad at one point just to figure it out. I was like why is everyone so intrigued by you, you're just dad, you're not that cool. But lo and behold, he was kind of a big deal. So it's definitely something that's been eye-opening.”
ESPN's The Last Dance has provided its viewers a whole new at Jordan from multiple perspectives. As it turns out, even his own daughter is fascinated by the storylines. Jasmine admitted that she has constantly been on his dad's case throughout her viewing.

“I'm harassing him,” she said. “He's probably tired of me texting him. I think my brothers and I are doing it, probably alongside all his friends. But for me, it's like, hey, as I said, I was super young so I'm really taking this in as a fan. And I'm also trying to corroborate all those stories you were telling me all those years. Trying to make sure you weren't just fabricating and making it bigger than what it was. I'm definitely texting him nonstop. I think there hasn't been an episode, a Sunday where I haven't been like, ‘This happened-let me know your thoughts.'”
I guess that's how you truly know you're great: when your own daughter are amazed by your accomplishments in hindsight, even though they were there beside you throughout the entire thing.
