I watch this couple days ago and it really grabbed my attention when they started talking about Michael Jordan and David Falk and how back then no one was really marketing like they are these days. Then it broke it down how Michael Jordan didn't want to even talk to Nike and everything kinda started with Nike and Michael and his agent. Basically we can thank Michael Jordan for everything we have at Oregon if you were to watch this whole show on ESPN. In 1987 Nike came with an Idea to start the Jordan shoes and predicted to make 3 million in a year of putting out the Jordan shoes and they ended up with 130 million or something crazy like that. Just crazy to think what if Michael Jordan didn't sign with Nike in 83' or 84' where would Nike be today and where would Oregon be.
