Marcus Jordan's career: Basketball star and shoe business

Marcus started his basketball career by playing for his high school Loyola Academy’s team in Illinois with his older brother Jeffrey. However, he transferred to Young High School in Chicago for his final two campaigns. He started playing for the basketball team in University of Central Florida (UCF), where he started in 2009. UCF had a partnership with Adidas and Marcus' refusal to change his Air Jordans had Adidas terminate the partnership. According to reports, the partnership reportedly cost $3 million.

Marcus ran into some legal trouble in 2012 as he was arrested in Omaha, Nebraska for creating a disturbance outside a hotel while being intoxicated. In 2016, he started a Jordan-inspired sneakers boutique business called the 'Trophy Room'. The shop was originally located in Orlando's Disneyland, but was moved to 'online-only' in 2019. Marcus is currently listed as the company's CEO.
