Marcus Jordan Proves He Can Be Like Mike (Dad)

Marcus Jordan sure has some big Nikes to fill.

Being the son of Michael Jordan can't be easy when it comes to the hard court. Sure, the Central Florida guard is off to a nice start this year (averaging 16 points a game) but there's simply no way to live up to the lofty standard set by dad.

Well, Marcus came pretty close - at least for one night.

Playing against Stetson Tuesday night, Marcus made a nice steal on an in-bounds pass and then elevated to register a Jordan-esque dunk over a hapless defender. The throwdown even made it on SportsCenter's Top Plays (watch video above).

The only drawback: young Jordan got a technical foul for his post-slam salute to the crowd.
