Montell Jordan and Doug Christie, a former NBA player who is also Jackie Christie’s husband and a prisoner, shared a dorm room at Pepperdine. Montell admitted to NBA.com that despite being six feet eight inches tall, he didn’t play on the basketball team.
One of the equipment managers, Montell was in charge of washing the team’s uniforms.
Did Montell Jordan ever play basketball?
He attended a Baptist church while growing up. Montell’s parents were deacons, and he played the piano in the choir.
The Los Angeles Times said that he acknowledged being a member of a lower-middle class family with persistent financial problems.
He first heard rap music when he was 11 years old, but he had no desire to pursue rap music as a career. His love for traditional R&B has never wavered.
Teddy Pendergrass, Isaac Hayes, and The Spinners were some of his parents’ favorite musicians, and he grew up listening to their music.
Rap lyrics would be written down by him, but he sang them rather than performed them.
