Former Nike executive Sonny Vaccaro (the man who discovered Michael Jordan) joins Colin Cowherd to discuss his relationship with legendary UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian on and off the court. He then discusses the film 'Air' and dissects Michael Jordan taking the last shot against Georgetown instead of James Worthy via North Carolina coach Dean Smith's decision and compares a few movie scenes to real life. Vaccaro breaks down how these '18 seconds changed the world.' He then shares about his conversation with Michael Jordan's mother prior to signing him to Nike. Watch as he shares his point of view in the process of signing MJ, along with why Phil Knight was hesitant at first.

You don't have to like him. You don't have to call him the G.O.A.T.. If you play/love this game, just say "thanks MJ".

@superdopehiphop Год назад

I’m one of the very rare who saw MJ/LeBron play live 51/53x each (great close seats center court), love them both, have them as Co GOAT and BOTH Mount Rushmore athletes in all of sports period! Anyone who pretends to act like they’re BOTH not ILLMATIC God Tier 👽either wasn’t there and/or is a Stan/hater!

@bigtrkdrvr216 Год назад

@SuperDopeHipHop I'm MJ all day er'day. I give Bron his props, I still put Kobe ahead of him, I just wish they played harder defense in this generation of ball.

"18 seconds changed the world"....... Sonny Vaccaro. Biggest bet for a lifetime poker player made history

@HailKingCeezer Год назад

I feel like there wasn't time and for the movie's sake they talked about the UNC shot, but the 84 Olympics is really where the legend started to take off and that was also before the shoe deal and everyone including NBA stars were getting a taste of what was to come. I'm watching the movie hopefully this weekend!

@mosando Год назад

MJ is not a once in a generation talent, he is a once in many lifetimes talent. He had it all and we all knew it. He was a player that was booed like no other but when he first left the WHOLE NBA world felt as if a family member was on life support and when he came back said member got up and ran. After running he got his props then a few later it was back to talking smack but it just felt a lot more special than before.

@hgm38 Год назад

If you a basketball fan & not just a jordan fan,it’s amazing how Sonny got him to sign.

@zerocool7408 Год назад

Colin is a really bad interviewer. A good radio and sports commentator but really poor interviewing skills. Interrupts a lot instead of letting Sonny tell most of the story. Certainly talks too much instead of asking open ended questions that engages his guests more

@neilmartin99 11 месяцев назад

Hey Sonny. Tell Colin about the time you told Mychel Thompson that his son would never make it to the NBA when he was a senior in high school. Mychel's son is Clay Thompson of the GSW. Oops, guess he got that one wrong. 🤣😂

82 - Freshman on a loaded team that answered the call. Started the legacy. And no (slight) hand assist to free him up.

Speaks to how much it was before Nike was a real player! Everybody wore Converse back in the day. Every year they would release a new Cons poster, which even included Aguirre in his brief prime. Only other comparable event was when Shaq started wearing Reebok Pumps.

@KenformerlyKen Год назад

So Sonny was betting on Georgetown to beat UNC in 1984 NCAA men basketball final..opps “ wrong bet “ says Van Damme in the movie “ Lion Heart “😆😆😆 had MJ NOT made that winning shot, Sonny, and Nike might have gone with Sam Perkins, James Worthy or Patrick Ewing as their spokesperson. That shot changed many people’s lives..Nike is the obviously the biggest winner while Converse probably the biggest loser. Because Converse was the shoes that sponsor NBA and everyone wanted to wear their shoes including MJ himself. MJ signed 4-year $2.5 million dollars 1984 PLUS loyalty, which would be averaging about $265 million dollars ANNUALLY. MJ's networth about 2 BILLION dollars in 2023😮

You know MJ is the goat when a movie about him signing a shoe contract was not only made, but is griping, is having oscar talks AND it's one of the most streamed movies. Colin, how can you even dispute MJ is the goat?? Jason probably crying in the corner.
