OMAHA, Neb. — Central Florida basketball player, Marcus Jordan, the son of former NBA great Michael Jordan, was arrested in Omaha early Sunday following a disturbance outside a downtown hotel.

According to a news release, police responding to a call at the Embassy Suites found hotel security trying to subdue Marcus Jordan, who was having an argument with two women in the hotel driveway.

The release said Jordan was ‘’very animated, intoxicated and uncooperative,’‘ and it took multiple officers to control and handcuff him.

Jordan was booked at the Douglas County Department of Corrections for resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and obstructing. He had been released by Sunday night.

Jordan, a rising senior, averaged 13.7 points for UCF last season.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson has confirmed that he and his family were the targets of an extortion scheme.

A 28-year-old former stripper possessed nude photographs of the married Warriors coach and wanted money to keep the photos from becoming public. The team confirmed two suspects were arrested earlier this week.

The Warriors said in a statement Wednesday that Jackson informed the organization of the extortion plot in April and that the team immediately contacted the FBI.

The Warriors say that “although not condoning his previous actions that led to the extortion attempt, the Warriors fully support Coach Jackson during this time.”

Jackson was hired last year. He is also an ordained minister, leading a congregation with his wife in the Los Angeles suburb of Van Nuys.

Last Thursday night with the 14th pick in the NBA draft, the Milwaukee Bucks selected John Henson.

Henson is a two-time ACC defensive player of the year, and joined three of his teammates in being selected in the top 20.

Lamar Odom will try to revitalize his career back where he started it.

The Mavericks also will create their own trade exception worth $8.9 million by shedding Odom’s contract without taking any salary back.

Everyone expected 6’10” Kentucky power forward, Anthony Davis, to be the first pick in this year’s NBA draft to the New Orleans Hornets.

From there, however, some experts had either 6’9” power forward Thomas Robinson from Kansas going number two, or 6’4” Florida guard, Bradley Beal to the Charlotte Bobcats.

The remaining top five picks will go to the Washington Wizards at number three, Cleveland Cavaliers at number four, and the Sacramento Kings at number five.

Listed to go in the top five with Davis, Robinson and Beal were Harrison Barnes from North Carolina, and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist from Kentucky.
