"South Sudan was hoopin": Michael Jordan's son chimes in after catching Team USA's pre-Olympic match highlights at a luxurious Vegas suite
Michael Jordan's son, Marcus Jordan, praised South Sudan for their gameplay against Team USA in an exhibition game before the Paris Olympics on his Instagram story. He posted a picture of his luxurious suite, which had a table and a couple of chairs, along with a television set mounted on a wall.
"South Sudan was hoopin," Marcus wrote in the caption.
South Sudan put up a great fight against the USA men's national basketball team. They gave the start-studded lineup a tough competition, staying on their necks for the entirety of the game.
Team USA started the game strong, winning the tip-off thanks to Joel Embiid. They successfully built a small lead in the first couple of minutes of the first quarter.
However, South Sudan struck back with an incredible downtown shooting to shatter the lead and widen the gap between the two teams. Going into the second quarter, the 3-point shots kept coming from South Sudan, widening the gap even further.
However, LeBron James' heroics in the last two quarters of the game helped the USA close the point gap. They were still in dangerous waters, as Sudan refused to let the star-studded team build a lead.
A layup by James was the final play of the game, securing a 100-101 win over South Sudan.
