So, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been eliminated from the NBA playoffs again -- adding to the city's rather impressive list of sports failures. Unfortunately for C-town, the biggest loss of the season will take place in a little less than 41 days when LeBron James (who was supposed to lead the city to championship glory) becomes a free agent.

Quite honestly, there hasn't been such an overhyped move since Shaquille O'Neal left the Lakers and went to the Heat ... although Shaq actually helped the Heat win an NBA title. So, perhaps this may be the most over-hyped free agency ever -- and you can blame Nike Inc. (NKE).

This post is one of several on business heirs apparent. Let us know in the comments whether you think Jeffrey Jordan live up to the legacy of his father, and be sure to check out the other heir apparent posts.

Since legendary hoopster Michael Jordan retired for good in 2003, none of the "next Michael Jordans"-- from Tracy McGrady to Jerry Stackhouse to Vince Carter -- have come close to matching Jordan's gaudy stats, six NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls, or impact on the game (not to mention his poker losses, but that's another story). Perhaps we have to look closer to home to find the real heir to Air Jordan?

Son Jeff Jordan is a freshman at the University of Illinois, and the first thing that strikes you about the younger Jordan is that he earned an academic scholarship to Illinois, certainly impressive but not exactly predictive of a Hall of Fame NBA career. Jeff's stats -- he's averaging five minutes and under one point per game this season for one of the worst Illinois squads in memory -- suggest that he might have been better off playing at one of the schools where he was offered a basketball scholarship, such as Loyola University of Chicago or Valparaiso.
