    I immediately think the fabulous 5 when I hear the name, Michael Jordan. The NIKE store in Chicago was so huge,, I always remember this huge cut out of Michael Jordan hanging from the celing, through the middle of the store to the lower level. It sticks with you for years after going there and I couldn't say what the rest of the store looked like. It was just that impressive. Gotta love Chicago, what a town.

    The mark of a good movie, to me anyway, advertises a running time of close to two hours, but it doesn't feel like it lasted two hours. That's what "Air" is to me.

    As far as I am concerned, the fab five started the whole black socks with black shoe thing. Of course I grew up in Albuquerque but I still rock that style today.

    There is zero reason for Hollywood to change this story so much. I’m not kidding 90% of this movie is BS. Rob Strasser was a huge part. There are so many horrible changes. Movie was super boring. Could have been exciting.

      Yeah, that's why he tried to convince Mychel Thompson to have his son, Clay, take the scholarship to Notre Dame rather than play for Wash State in the PAC 10.
      He flat out told Mychel that Clay had no chance in the NBA and Notre Dame would be a better educational choice over Washington State.

      Oops!
      Yeah, Sonny's a real genius.

    Is this the same Sonny Vaccaro who told former Laker, Mychel Thompson that his high school senior son would never make it in the NBA?
    Mychel's son is Clay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors.
    Oops guess you got that one wrong, Sonny.

    I liked Matt Damon's new eyes in this film. He got the Ray Liotta surgery and thought no one would notice. When will these celebs learn that plastic surgery only leads to looking like a lizard person in the end???🤣😬😱🤦‍♂

    Revisionist history, Kobe Bryant was highly touted after junior year and considered to be next Jordan like Grant Hill. Only Grant Hill was signed with Fila. Sonny makes it seem like he saw something in Kobe no one else saw, not true.

    So much BS in this movie. Wished Hollywood wouldn’t distort the story so much.
