Michael Jordan did NOT want to sign with Nike back in the day. Not even close.
He WANTED to sign with ADIDAS IN 1984 ... but they didn't want to make him a priority.
TALK ABOUT A BILLION DOLLAR MISTAKE!!!
MJ explained the whole thing in episode 4 of "The Last Dance" ... admitting his mom FORCED him get on a plane and take a pitch meeting with the Swoosh just to hear what they had to say,
"My mother said, 'You're gonna go listen. You may not like it, but you're gonna go listen," Jordan said .
