Well lets get one thing straight, Nike was going to make it regardless of MJ or not. He did help make them bigger, I'll give him that.
So you're saying they would have told Jordan to kick rocks, I don't know about that.Its easy to judge in hindsight but they wouldn't have given him ownership...
Why would they give an ownership stake to someone who can have a career ending injury before the ink is dry on the contract? Or someone who can randomly retire in his prime?
Also Nike owned the trademarks - the logo, the "Air Jordan" name, the designs....
I don't like this comparison because Lucas was extremely protective of his baby. He got a cut from legal merch, but he also hindered it severely by being the only director and having so large of gaps in the movies. And waiting late to allow spinoff cartoons and comics.
But Disney got a hell of a deal with that $4 bill.....
Update.....shit George was smart. He took 55% in cash and 45% in Disnry stock. Roughly 37 million shares (about $50 each at the time) 2.1% of Disney...
Disney Has Actually Paid Over $10 Billion For 'Star Wars' - Inside the Magic
The $4 billion originally paid to George Lucas is less than half the total cost Disney has now paid for the franchise.insidethemagic.net
In the last 9 years that stock value has increased from $1.9 billion to nearly $7 billion
Disney pimped the hell out of SW after that deal. Easily making back the initial $4 bill investment in a few years.
The reason why he became the only director is because no one he asked including his friend Spielberg wanted to direct them. When he asked Ron Howard, Ron said Lucas should direct his own stuff.
P corrected himself on his instagram
Google said that Jordan gets 5% of all Nike’s earningsThere was no need for him to correct anything, it’s not his fault that the intelligence level of people is low.
P was encouraging people to become owners instead of employees. He didn’t criticize or call out MJ. He simply used MJ as an example of “What if” MJ had stake in the company or ownership. And he used MJ because of the success that he brought to Nike.
His comments were to have us “Black People” think about the bigger picture, and to think of being more than just the talent but to be an owner.
Unfortunately his comments were taking in the extremely wrong direction and fell on deaf ears.
Question: “Why would they give him ownership and a stake in the company”?
Answer: Because Nike was hoping to sell 3 million dollars worth of Air Jordan’s over 3 years and sold 125 million dollars worth of Air Jordan’s in the first year.
That’s why he should’ve pushed for ownership and a stake in the company.
But that’s hindsight.
I'm talking about eps 123.Lucas directed the first movie (ep4).
Kerschner directed Empire Strikes Back and Marquand directed Return of the Jedi.
All shit designed to kill a nigga's heart and blood pressure. Styles went the other path and got his healthy smoothie shops.
Plenty of people outperform their contracts.
I hate when people start talking about someone else's Pockets like they know what's in them.Nigga act like he knows what is in Jordan's stock portfolio.
Who says he doesn't have shares?
Sometimes P be talking to be talkin....
You don’t know that cacs posting history? That’s a pro Trump right wing cac trollPlenty also underperform but that’s not the point.
Jordan made 122 more million dollars for Nike in one year when they were hoping for 3 million over three years.
You can continue to stand by your point but you’ll sound like a troll.
Lol I believe P said something like well you eat this shit anyways, why not eat the black owned brandAll shit designed to kill a nigga's heart and blood pressure. Styles went the other path and got his healthy smoothie shops.
Fair enough, but I wish he would encourage some healthier options.Lol I believe P said something like well you eat this shit anyways, why not eat the black owned brand

Like?Fair enough, but I wish he would encourage some healthier options.
What P talkin bout? The Jordan brand is its own entity that Mike completely owns in partnership with Nike.. P do know Mike owns an NBA franchise right?

He was given more than 3 times the richest contract b4 him as a sneaker deal.. most people will sleep on that part.. look at people like Robert Downey he made like 50 million to be iron man.. now look at black Panther if Disney gave him 150 million to do that role in which they made 2 billion + and at the time was the highest grossing marvel movie there will be people that would still say he was underpaid and not look at the fact he was paid 3 times more than any other marvel actor at the time.. people are in 2022 looking at Jordan contract in the mid 80s with a shoe brand that wasn’t number 1 at the time and had no idea how successful his shoe was gonna be..it’s easy to say something after it happened instead of real timeFinally you guys can rest easy, MJ has stock options!
Nike offered Jordan $500,000 a year in cash for five years, by far the richest sneaker contract in history. James Worthy had previously held the record for the richest sneaker deal, making $150,000 annually for eight years with New Balance. In addition to stock options and other miscellaneous parts of the deal, Falk said Jordan would stand to make $7 million over five years, as long as Nike did not terminate the contract.

Not coming at you but your response doesn’t make sense if you watched the video.

So by your logic I guess the person who created the popeyes chicken sandwich should be demanding ownership shares of popeyes....
For Ramen? They could use shirataki noodles and low calorie chicken broth. They're options but P doesn't care about peoples health just wealthLike?
It's no evidence he didn't have enough to buy the team it's true he didn't really spend his own money up front but he been had the investment group together he had that ready in 03 lol. Most owners don't spend they own money initially everyone knows that.P is right. MJ stans mad.
Mike is ONLY a billionaire due to rising value of NBA franchises of the last decade. Not business acumen. Prior to that he didnt even have enough to outright buy his team which was only $300 million or so at the team of purchase. NBA team valuation began to skyrocket during his first decade of ownership due to TV and broadcast rights deals. Thats when he reached billionaire status. Mike still being essentially a high paid employee of Nike on salary deal is some shameful shit.
