Marcus Jordan Tried To Get Out Of Trouble By Name-Dropping His Famous Father
New footage obtained by Page Six has revealed that Marcus Jordan name-dropped his NBA legend father, Michael Jordan, during a recent run-in with the police.
The exchange took place in the early hours of Tuesday morning when the 34-year-old was found sitting with an unidentified woman inside a blue Lamborghini SUV that had gotten stuck on train tracks.
In one scene, Marcus could be seen saying, “There’s nothing in my pockets,” as one of the officers attempted to search him.
He followed up the remark by bringing up his father’s name, seemingly thinking it would convince the officers to cut him some slack.
“Bro, I’m Marcus Jordan. I’m Michael Jordan’s son,” the 34-year-old called out while being patted. “I’m not doing anything wrong. I’m just trying to get home. And I made a wrong turn, OK?”

The 34-year-old Used Vulgar Language During The Incident
The police had initially arrived on the scene to investigate how Marcus ended up on the train tracks but soon discovered that his speech was slurred, and he seemed impaired.
“I can smell alcohol coming from you, and you’re on train tracks,” said one of the officers in the video.
In response, Marcus said he was “not inebriated” before later admitting that he had “a little bit” to drink.
The 34-year-old also began using vulgar language when the cops handcuffed him and started a proper search of him.
“You wanna see my d-ck? You wanna check under my nuts, too?” Marcus rudely barked at the officers.
He added, “The way you f-cking searching [me] … There ain’t sh-t. It’s just a big d-ck and some big balls.”
