We watched “Air” on Amazon Prime last night …

It tells the story of how Nike convinced a young Michael Jordan to move from Adidas to Nike and the Air Jordan …

Directed by Ben Affleck who also plays the CEO of Nike I was curious to see who would play the young Michael Jordan.

How could anyone compare to the Iconic Jordan ???

There are only brief glimpses of this Actor in the Film but he actually looks quite a bit like Mike.

Damian Delano Young height is 6 feet 4 inches. His stature is compared with legendary Michael Jordan for his upcoming film Air.

The newbie actor is tall and has a broad physical stature. He was cast to portray Michael Jordan for a strong reason.

What do you think ?

The single most pivotal business move in the history of the sneaker industry was Nike’s pursuit of Michael Jordan in the mid-1980s. The UNC Tar Heels standout was hotly coveted by all sneakers brands, but it was actually adidas that was atop Michael’s list. It wasn’t until an impressive pitch by the brand — and more dollars — that convinced the future GOAT to sign with the Swoosh, and as you know, the rest is history.

What were your thoughts on the movie overall? Worth the time?

Yes. I enjoyed the movie. It was a blast from the past. I grew up in the 80’s… so I loved the music, the style, the vibe. Matt Damon is excellent.

Right on! I actually used to cut MJ’s grass when he tried to be a baseball player in Birmingham, AL, lol. Pretty epic experience

Wow, that must have been awesome. You only see the Actor that plays Michael Jordan for about 2 seconds in the whole movie... It is more the story of Nike and Michael Jordan's Mom. She negotiated the deal.
