Hoops legend Michael Jordan is being sued by a woman claiming he’s the father of her teen son, a new lawsuit charges.

Pamela Smith claims she became pregnant with Jordan’s son after a 1995 tryst, the suit filed in Fulton County, Ga., claims.

Her son Grant Pierce Jay Jordan Reynolds — aka Taj — was born in June 1996, the suit states.

In December, Taj posted a video claiming Jordan is his father.

“I have some exclusive, exclusive information I feel like everybody should know. If you’ve been hearing any rumors on Twitter, Instagram, MediaTakeout, any of that…it’s true,” Taj proclaims.

I feel like ya’ll should know and I feel like he should be more in my life about it, too.”

Taj claims that Jordan knows “I’m his son. I’ve met him.”

“I want him to be more in my life.”

The teen’s Reverbnation page —- as Taj Tareef — claims he is a hip-hop artist and likens his sound to Wiz Khalifa and Soulja Boy. The site’s bio claims the teen “is nothing short of genius” and was “producing his own tracks as a tenth grader out of Westlake High School.”

At the time of the alleged fling, the Bulls star was married to Juanita Vanoy.

Smith charges in the suit, filed on Feb. 6 in Fulton County, Ga, that she wants to retain full custody but also now wants child support as well as medical expenses for her son. Smith is also pushing to make Jordan Taj’s legal last name.

Jordan spokeswoman Estee Portnoy declined to comment.
