5 Famous Last Names of College Basketball

1. Marcus Jordan, UCF Knights

You don’t have to be a basketball fan to recognize this last name – son of former NBA great Michael Jordan. Marcus isn’t the prolific scorer his father once was, but still leads his team in that category, averaging 17.6 points per game on the season.
