I took made the family go see the movie Air last night. It was quite good. If you are like me and like the intersection of sports and business, then it's a movie worth seeing. The entire family loved it.
I've always loved Nike since I was mowing yards to buy my first pair. A while back I read the book Shoe Dog which is about Phil Knight and the growth of Nike. It's a must read autobiography if you like business. A friend of mine was the marketing guy that came up with Just Do It and we later worked together at Coca-Cola. His stories were epic.
Having read Shoe Dog, and watched The Last Dance, Air was great. I highly recommend it if you are a fan of MJ, Nike, and sports.
MJ is possibly the greatest competitor to ever step onto any court, field, pitch, ring, you name it...and Phil Knight was a serious entrepreneur and competitor...
The guy that made the deal with MJ, Sonny Vaccaro, went on to basically be the driving force behind NIL which has changed college sports, as the original Air Jordan changed professional sports endorsements along with Rob Strasser.
Yes, there is a lot of collateral damage and some will say it was all negative.
I personally think MJ is the greatest athlete of our lifetimes and was the only reason I ever watched the NBA. That era is no more...
