Long-time, A-List BFF’s, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck finally get to work together to bring to life the story of Nike and the “Air Jordan” brand.
While they say the film is not a biopic, they try to keep things as seemingly real as possible with Affleck playing Nike’s founder, Damon playing the Nike executive trying to sell the idea of teaming up with rookie (at the time) Michael Jordan to launch a brand, and MJ himself being on screen as little as possible.
However, despite a lack of Jordan’s physical presence in the film, his biggest request was who should play his mother, and we think they nailed it!
