Michael Jordan's daughter says she used Google to find out why her father was so famous.

Jasmine Jordan and her older brother Jeffrey, 35, have previously detailed what life was like growing up alongside a man who is widely regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time.

Jeffrey, who played at the University of Illinois and the University of Central Florida before co-founding Chicago-based consultant group Jordan Avakian Group, opened up to Good Morning America about living under the same roof as MJ.

"He was tough and it was competitive," Jeffrey said.

"We always felt like the competitive atmosphere shaped us in a way that was for the better and got us prepared for what we were gonna face in the real world. We embraced it, but the switch was on."

Jasmine, who studied sports management at Syracuse University before working at the NBA team, the Charlotte Hornets, also gave an insight into Michael's personality off the court.

Cleary, he was never one to brag to his kids about life on the court.

"I had kids and teachers and stuff at school telling me 'It's incredible your father is who he is.' And I'm thinking you all haven't met my father to my knowledge, how do you know this?" she laughed. "So I did, I Googled him. And I found a lot clearly!"

She added: "I had that conversation with my father afterward and he just laughed and was like, 'Hey, there's no way to really tell you anything like that' but between him and my mom, they made sure that we felt like he was normal as can be and we grew up very normal and for that I'm grateful.

"I was so young at the time — so now I'm understanding the chaos and everything that was happening."

Jeffrey also opened up on what it was like to watch his father in the Netflix and ESPN docuseries, The Last Dance.

"It's been amazing to see him in a different light," he said. "We got to see him when he came home and he was done with work -- but being able to see him in his element, in his atmosphere with the team and see all the ups and downs of that season has been a treat to watch."
