Movie was okay but odd it was made. I legit wonder if Nike/Phil put in a lot of funding for the advertising because who was asking for this movie?
For whatever reason the Hollywood script world loves these like behind the scenes true life biopic movies[/b] but they don't exactly kill it at the box office, so it's strange.
I think you answered your own question. Nobody ever asks for movies. That's why the shit ball to good movie ratio is about 100 to 1, and the shit ball to great movie ratio is about 1,000 to 1.
I actually think it is interesting story line, though I wasn't blown away by the actual movie itself. Nike is a classically American 'build something from nothing [waffle irons]' tale, and the role that one athlete played in taking it from just another athletic shoe company to the cultural behemoth that it is today is compelling if you're not a Husky fan.
I am old enough to actually remember the era of basketball that was obsessed with big inside guys and the questions about whether Jordan would really do all that much for any franchise. I can tell you nobody was freaking out about Portland taking what's his face over him at the time. For anybody who saw even a fraction of what was coming, and was willing to put their $$ where their mouth was to prove it, is a story. No doubt about it.
And Adidas is a Nazi company[/b].
