Jeff Jordan to swap basketball for study

Jeff Jordan, two-year reserve point guard for the Illini basketball team, has decided he will not be returning for the upcoming season. Jordan, son of Michael Jordan, said that he wants to focus more on academics and life after college.

"I loved playing for the Fighting Illini and appreciate the support I was given by my teammates, coaches and the great fans here," Jordan said in a press release. "But I have come to the point where I'm ready to focus on life after basketball. I will concentrate on earning my degree from the University of Illinois and the opportunities that await upon graduating."

Probably a smart move as (if its the right Jordan son I am thinking of) he was never going to make the NBA. I'm sure his dad could help him land a good job relating to his studies. Also a few extra dollars from dad will help living along the way

People, this is all just a ruse, he's obviously going to go off, do his own thing for 18 months before announcing in a fax "I'm back". Seen it all before.
