“Weapons formed against me did not prosper”: Michael Jordan's son-in-law posts cryptic messages on IG as he enjoys Indonesia stint

In the midst of a trip to Indonesia with his friends, Michael Jordan's son-in-law Rakeem Christmas posted a cryptic message on social media.

Christmas, who shares a son with Jordan's daughter Jasmine, made two posts on his Instagram story.

"The weapons formed against me this year did NOT prosper. God reminded me, more than ever, that He will never forsake me, and for that, I am grateful," Christmas wrote in one of his IG story.

Christmas had a short NBA career after being drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2015. Since his exit from the NBA, Christmas has been playing basketball overseas.

The relationship between Michael Jordan and his son-in-law is not well documented. However, in January 2018, in a conversation with Stuff, Christmas revealed that there have been times when Jordan has provided him with guidance.

"Whenever I see him we talk a little bit," Christmas told Stuff. "When I was home just now we'd be at the Hornets games and we would talk about little things. He always gives me tips and advice with certain decisions that I'd ask him about."

Christmas and Jasmine share a son Rakeem Michael Christmas with each other. The former NBA player has another child with Instagram influencer Ariel Ramage.
