Michael Jordan<\/a> is arguably the greatest basketball player to ever live, and he has his ultra-competitive family<\/a> to thank for pushing him as a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jordan<\/a> grew up playing basketball and baseball against his older brother, Larry, and he credits that rivalry for propelling him to greatness. Jordan's relationship with his siblings shaped not just his legendary basketball career, but who he grew up to become as a person. So, how many siblings does Jordan have and what was his relationship with each one like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jordan grew up in Wilmington, N.C. under his father, James, and his mother, Deloris. He was the fourth of five children in the family. Jordan has two other brothers (James Jr. and Larry), an older sister (Deloris), and a younger sister (Roslyn).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael and Larry were the athletic ones in the family, but the three other siblings all had different talents and interests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I always told my children, ‘Each one of you has special gifts, it's how you use them,'” Jordan's mother, Deloris, once told ESPN<\/a>. “Each one had a talent, but how they approached it was different from the others. Michael might have skills for basketball, but Larry built things with his hands, and our oldest son was in ROTC and such a leader.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
