In 1984, Nike was losing basketball.
Adidas owned the pros.
Converse owned the legends.
Nike? They made running shoes—and their basketball division was bleeding money.
Then one man inside Nike made a proposal so reckless it could’ve destroyed the company:
Take Nike’s entire basketball budget and bet it on one rookie.
Not spread across multiple stars.
Not diversified.
All in on a 21-year-old who hadn’t played a single NBA game.
That rookie was Michael Jordan.
This documentary breaks down the greatest marketing gamble in history, how Nike risked everything on Jordan, why the deal almost didn’t happen, and how one signature shoe changed sports, fashion, and culture forever.
