The 21st annual ESPY Awards are taking place on July 17, and Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan has decided to take the opportunity to be a family man. On Tuesday night, Jordan shared a text conversation on Twitter that he had with his mom, during which he asked her if she would like to accompany him to the ESPYs next week.
Apparently Mrs. Jordan did not take kindly to her oldest son sharing their conversation with his 270,000-plus followers. She sent DeAndre a response letting him know that “it’s on.”

Great stuff. Kudos to DeAndre for asking his mom to be his date in an era where most NBA stars would just find some supermodel to accompany them if they didn’t have a date. Mrs. Jordan clearly has a great sense of humor. Based on some of the things we’ve seen NBA players wear as of late, we’re glad she took a stand against the denim suit idea.
