What made Nike and the Jordan shoe blowup was Michael Jordan’s incredible play on the court every night you never knew what great move he was going to do that was special

I took off work to go see this movie, and loved every minute of it. I'm not a "shoe dog", but I was in Jr high and High School in the 80s, so this movie....the soundtrack, the tracksuits, the totally 80s vibe. Also, I was familiar with the story, so I knew what I was getting into. It was just so much better than I expected. So far - fave movie of the year. (And I cried 4 times during Guardians Vol 3. Lol)

It's right up there for me too! I knew I'd like it, just because of the content being covered. But I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Definitely gonna watch it a few more times!

AW! You skipped over the part where Jordan's agent is blowing up at Sonny? That's the best part! 😂😂😂

Probably because of all the swearing and how it can affect monetization. Still a funny scene and still a great reaction.

As someone who grew up in Portland, and loving the Blazers. This movie stung a bit with all the Sam Bowie comments lol

You see, the percentage part of the deal never happened before this. This changed everything. What a great deal maker Michael's mom made.

It's true about I Have a Dream speech.

I love the beginning song lol Dire Strait

Fun movie

I lived most of my life in Beaverton, and ran the perimeter trail around the Nike Campus a lot during my 20s. It’s funny how much of Oregon’s economy is propped up by Nike, Intel, and Boeing’s footprint in the Portland Metro Area.

Success is always a matter of some luck and timing. Nike was sooooo lucky to sign MJ. What a steal! Best deal ever, for both sides.
