DeAndre Jordan was born Hyland DeAndre Jordan Jr., the eldest of three children to Kimberly and Hyland Jordan on the 21st of July 1988 in Houston, Texas. He began his journey to play professional basketball at Episcopal High School, where he was noted for dominating his peers on the court.

Jordan, however, did not finish his high school at Episcopal as he transferred to Christian Life Center Academy where he completed his senior year. By the time he was graduating, he was a two-time all-state and a third-team Parade All-American selection which meant he was heavily recruited by a number of teams, including stand out programs like Florida State, LSU, and Kentucky. Jordan, however, opted to stay in his home state and attend Texas A&M University.

In his freshman college year, DeAndre Jordan started 21 of 35 games and averaged 7.9 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game. His efforts earned him a selection to the Big 12 All-Rookie Team at the end of the year after which he announced he was entering the 2008 NBA Draft where he was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers with the 35th overall pick.

During his 10-year spell with the Clippers, DeAndre Jordan accomplished several feats, including playing the most games in the team’s history and becoming the franchise’s all-time leader in total rebounds before opting to move back to his home state and join the Dallas Mavericks in July 2018.
