Jordan and Prieto met while they were out at a nightclub in 2008. Five years later, they decided to tie the knot. A year into their marriage, Jordan and Prieto welcomed twin girls into the world.

Aside from being married to one of the NBA's biggest stars, Prieto has made a name for herself with her modeling career.


France's coach speaks on Victor Wembanyama being compared to Michael Jordan

Even though he's been retired for over two decades now, Michael Jordan is still widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players ever. As one young star begins his rise in the NBA, his coach tried to slow down comparisons to guys like "His Airness."

As the 2024 Olympics rage on, one of the most talked about players in men's basketball is Victor Wembanyama. Following a strong first season in the NBA, the eye-popping prospect is making his Olympic debut for France.

In his first game, Wembanyama notched 19 points, nine rebounds, two assists, four steals and three blocks. France went on to kick off the Summer Games with a 78-66 win over Brazil.

Following this win, France's coach, Vincent Collet, spoke on the hype around Wembanyama. He stated that some fans who don't closely follow the sport put him in the same tier as Michael Jordan.

"I don’t know which word to use, but everybody waits for him," Collet said. "You have the people who know basketball, and they understand he’s only 20 years old. But people that like sports but (who) don’t know basketball, they think Victor is already Michael Jordan. (But) take time. Take time.”

There is no denying that Wembanyama has the potential to be in the same category as Jordan when it's all said and done. However, the San Antonio Spurs big man still has a long way to go to meet this type of comparison.
