Christie and Jordan’s Little-Known Connection

Many people know Doug Christie as the hard-nosed defender on the Kings during their deep playoff runs in the early 2000s.

Many people know Montell Jordan as the man behind the chart-topping hit song “This is How We Do It”.

However, what most people don’t know that both of these men used to share one dorm room back in their college days.

During their time at Pepperdine University, a private college in scenic Malibu, CA, Christie and Jordan were roommates while in the early stages of their respective careers.

Christie was a standout guard on the Pepperdine basketball team before being drafted in the first round of the 1992 NBA Draft.
