More on this storyline
The size 13 Jordan VIIIs feature his iconic number “23” in white, outlined by red, on the lace guards. Scuffs appear on the surface of each sneaker, but they show relatively light wear as they were only used in a single game. Jordan signed both shoes with a silver marker. They come with letters of authenticity from PSA, Beckett and SIA, as well as an SIA photo match. -via CBSSports.com / February 18, 2023
Q:What was the inspiration for this movie? Ben Affleck: “There is no one inspiration for this. It’s not a story from any one person’s point of view. It’s really my own look at these events, and if it’s about anything, it’s about what Michael Jordan meant to the sporting world, to the world at large. The way he was and what he did transformed sports, transformed sports marketing, transformed the way athletes were compensated, treated.” -via USA Today Sports / February 18, 2023
Jabari Smith Jr.: “[Michael Jordan is] not beating me right now.” Reporter: “He’s 60. Today’s his birthday.” JS: “Okay, Happy Birthday MJ. I’m beating you in 1-on-1 right now.” R: “Is he getting any buckets on you to 11?” JS: “Might make something.” -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / February 18, 2023
