Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about these two fellas, Michael B. Jordan and that basketball fella, Michael Jordan. Folks keep askin’, “Are they related?” You know, like cousins or somethin’. Nope, not a bit of it. They ain’t family at all. Just two fellas with the same darn name, that’s all.
This Michael B. Jordan, the actor fella, he’s a good-lookin’ young man, ain’t he? Seen him in a few pictures, real charmin’. But he ain’t got nothin’ to do with that basketball Jordan, the one who jumps so high. They just share that name, like John Smith and John Smith, ya know? Happens all the time.
Now, this actor Jordan, his middle name is Bakari. Fancy, ain’t it? Means somethin’ special in some foreign language, I heard. But it sure ain’t got nothin’ to do with basketball, that’s for sure. He was born way out in California, in a place called Santa Ana. His daddy’s name is Michael A., so that’s where his name comes from, not from no basketball player.
- They got the same name: Yep, both called Michael Jordan.
- But they ain’t related: Not a lick of family connection.
- Actor Jordan’s got a fancy middle name: Bakari, they call it.
- He’s from California: Born and raised out there.
- Named after his daddy: Not no basketball star.
People just get confused, I guess. See the same name and they start thinkin’ they’re related. Happens all the time. Like that time they thought my cousin Sally was related to that singer, what’s her name? Just ’cause they both had red hair! Silly, ain’t it?
This actor Jordan, he’s done real good for himself. Made a name for himself in them movies. And that basketball Jordan, well, he’s a legend, everyone knows that. But they ain’t connected, no sir. Just a coincidence, that’s all it is. Don’t go believin’ everything you hear, especially from them city folks.
I heard tell that the actor Jordan even had to come out and say they weren’t related. Can you imagine? Having to tell folks you ain’t related to someone just ’cause you got the same name! Must be frustratin’, I reckon. But that’s the way it is, sometimes.
So, next time someone asks you if them Jordans is related, you just tell ’em, “Nope, not a bit of it!” They just share a name, that’s the long and short of it. Nothin’ more, nothin’ less. And don’t let anyone tell you different, ’cause they’re just plain wrong.
And you know what else? This actor Jordan, he ain’t plannin’ on namin’ his kid Michael C. Heard him say it himself, or read it somewhere, I don’t rightly remember. See? He’s tryin’ to stop this whole confusion thing right then and there. Smart fella, that one.
So there you have it. The truth about them Jordans. No family ties, no secret connections. Just two fellas with the same name, makin’ their own way in the world. Now, let’s talk about somethin’ else, shall we? This talk about names is makin’ my head spin.
It’s like thinkin’ every John is related, or every Mary is sisters. That ain’t how it works, ya know? Same goes for these Jordans. Just a common name, nothin’ more to it. You got folks named Smith all over the place, but they ain’t all related, are they? Same thing here, just with a fancier name, Jordan. Don’t make it no different.
So let’s put this to rest, once and for all. Michael B. Jordan, the actor? Not related to Michael Jordan, the basketball star. Period. End of story. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about names has made me hungry.
