Dont you think NIKE thought of this before now? They knew MJ’s son would not wear Adidas and just waited for the opportunity to take over another school without bargaining power.

Does anybody think adidas assumes responsibility in this too?

I mean really. Its one kid on one team at the university wearing his DAD’S brand. ( MJ isn’t an exec or just some salesman for Nike, he is Nike.)
Adidas should get over it and give an exemption.

And Who’s the ID10T from UCF who told him it’d be ok. Theres some responsibility there, too

I doubt Jordan would’ve signed with UCF if Nike hadn’t guaranteed a deal for the school is Adidas dropped them.

Hope he fails miserably. If he was any good he would be at a college with a real bball program. But, welcome to America where your name earns you things you haven’t earned.

UCF promised that he could wear Air Jordans and Addidas said it would be fine even before Jordan signed on with UCF. So, Addidas backed out on their word. So, the one to blame is Addidas!

Also, please correct the article..They are no longer the Golden Knights… They just are the UCF Knights!!

I am NOT going to play unless I can wear my Dad’s shoes. Right Dad?

Makes them both look like fools.

If the school actually promised him something, then it doesn’t matter what he or his dad could have done. That is the only question. If the school did not promise anything then they should just teach the kid what his father hasn’t. Responsibilities equals consequences.

Ridiculous. Selfish like his Father and totally lacking perspective. However, what about the AD and coach….ummm, u better have a backup plan to regain another $1.9M in addition to the Jordan notoriety because this is your fault!

The kid is not a team player. HIS FATHER accomplished great things, Junior, not so much. Showing such ego before actually proving himself just shows a complete lack of character and a willingness to skate along on daddies coattails.
The university should have shown some balls and benched Junior, if only to show his teammates that they are playing on a team. But I guess the Jordan name will put bodies in the seats.
