- A shoe is just a shoe, until my son steps into it.

All ball players owe Mrs. Jordan a debt of gratitude.
Right....😊
Mama RULES!
This one phone call made Michael a billionaire and changed the landscape of shoe deals forever.
No, Michael's mother made him a billionaire and changed the landscape of shoe deals forever. :) God bless her for looking out for her son.
@@strikeforcealpha9343 Bruuu you need to read before replying 🤨 that's literally what he said 🤣🤣
This chat never happened
Fake. Nike always proposed to give Jordan a piece.
@@alhollywood6486 drama movie
Matt Damon's acting here top tier. You can really feel his frustration yet trying to remain patient and polite
Every customer service person alive does this every work day.
@@DrClawizdeadit's a compliment. He was able to do that perfectly. Not taking away what other people do. This about Damon.
But he’s not customer service in IRL that’s the point hence the praise of the acting
Meh, all I see was Viola, especially considering the side of the fence she was arguing for...
“You eat, we eat.” One of the best sayings in the business world when negotiating.
That reminds me of an Outcast song. ("If you don't move yo' feet, then I don't eat. So we like neck and neck.")
His mom set him up for a great life!
💯
God did🙏
Mom build Jordan into immortality.
@@haPPySundAy970There’s only so much talent God gives that will help people if they are with others who make bad decisions.
I highly doubt this is how the conversation went down.
MJ told Ben Affleck that he would only bless off on the movie under one condition: Viola Davis played Mrs. Jordan. MJ should get casting credit.
Oh the irony. The woman who viola Davis is playing is the only reason that Michael Jordan is a billionaire..
@@viperrecords3288 Not sure what the irony is. MJ understood that he wanted a top actress to play his mother, which shows what he thinks of her and how he respects her.
I love this 🥹
@@viperrecords3288I’m not sure that you understand what the word irony means.
She knew exactly the worth of JORDAN....
its fiction my guy, this phone call never happened.
That was one really smart woman with foresight.
Agree..100%
Oh yes, Mama is batting for her son
A mother always knows what her child is capable of and therefore what he deserves. I’m so glad Mrs Jordan had the courage to stand her ground
Courage in this case was very similar to greed. Wasn't it?
This is just amazing. Mom's confidence of her son and MJ's. Amazing
When she started doing those triple blinks, I knew she was going to get the job done! Way to go, mama Jordan!!
🤣 sir don't bother going on any further
Viola Davis is a master. I briefly forgot this is a movie and she is playing a character.
She is incredible - I was riveted to my seat...
This was an amazing scene of Viola Davis playing as Michael Jordan’s mom. She killed it. Why didn’t she win an award?!?!?
I can take a guess.....but I digress.
So that she can whine and play the race card , like she did
What was the name of the movie please?

Goes to show,
You get the offer of a lifetime
You get someone to check the fine print so you get your worth.
A lawyer, or a loving mother.
Viola Davis should've been nominated for an academy award.
Agreed. Love Viola Davis. So talented.
Nah. I love her. But not being nominated for this.
So the person that wrote those words, the person that sewed her costume, the cameraman, the maid that cleaned her trailer and all the other people that supported the creation of that scene, had nothing to do with her success?
@@Ellifiknowyou’re an incredibly annoying individual
A shoe is just a shoe until my son steps into it. ❤🔥
Facts !
There’s nothing like a mother that TRULY loves and protects their children. The actor that voiced simba in lion king, Jason Weaver, mother did the same thing. Til this day he gets a check from the movie.
Mrs Deloris Jordan mam thank you for your wisdom, knowledge, strength and persistence and protection of the legacy of your son!
Her eyes were done really amazing by that makeup artist. That makeup as a whole looks really pretty.
M. Viola Davis chewed that scene like the lioness she is. Amazing.
Mike's mom was his first lesson in business & negotiating. She's largely the reason why he is now a billionaire.
I had read that Jordan's mom also wanted him to marry his first wife so he would be grounded and not out partying and baby-making. She really worked hard for Jordan to be the best.
You can feel the perspectives and feeling from on both sides of the phone, not just by the dialogues but the delivery and tones.
This is the moment MJ's mom took it personal
Underrated comment award
the lady could see her sons value where others would easily be bought off ...
On the flip mj was world recognition and made people play basketball. That to me was goat status. When a player is able to reach out to others and influence, it was not just a shoe. Nike I believe has no regrets.
I love her smile when he tries to explain that's not "how it works." She's not assuming anything, she KNOWS how it's normally done. She also knows that's NOT how it's going to done with Michael, because she won't let it.
The michael jordan story is a historic, inspiring ane classically American one! Good movie.
I saw this scene awhile ago and I hunted it down. Cause that last sentence is the most powerful statement. “A shoe is just a shoe until he steps into it”.
She rather him be respected then liked for his imagine. But respect requires demanding your worth based on who you are not who you wanted to be liked with. The things, fam and excitement all wear off. But what will live on is your character cause it creates the biggest impact!
Viola Davis acting is gold every single time!!
Happy Mother's Day Michael Jordan's mother! :) I wish all mothers are like you!
Because MJ's special blessing was not his physical prowess...... its that he was raised by this woman. Mom hall of fame here.... big time
MJ was infact not raised by Viola Davis
@@goochipoochie.........no....... 😢
Exceptional children often have exceptional parents.
A mother's love for her son she knew ❤️
Moms always know what's best.. literally this reminds me of when my mom helped me renegotiate my salary...went with me to my interview waited outside for me when she heard of what i was given told me i deserved more since at that time i was the highest qualified in that workplace called the workplace told them the amount i wanted and they gave it to me. I was the highest paid person and in one way or another may have changed how others were paid after i left that job for another one.
MJ the greatest marketing symbol of all time. GOAT. No one has Lebrons shoes but everyone has Jordans
😁😂😅🤸
This was very wholesomely heartwarming! ❤✌🏾
I hope Viola won an award for this role - a small but extremely impactful performance that made the whole film for me!
That was super excellent move by the mother!!!
Very intelligent move and now… man’s making money even in his sleep
She is fantastic!
Thank you Mrs. Jordan
Wow. What a mother
A great wisdom in it, dont let potential get in the way of reality. If you refuse the counter offer, you get nothing. You accept the counter offer, you still make Millions and potentially more than youre original estimates.
Companies are keen to use High profile sports people to promote their products but weren't interested in paying them fairly to use their name, forgetting the years a sports person spends in building up their bodies, honing their skills, perfecting timing. These attributes are what makes a great sports player and should also be rewarded when Companies want to use the sports person's or celebrity name to boost sales
Very smart of Mrs. Jordan. I love how stern she is
Moms is 🔥🔥🔥
Jordan's mom is the real warrior/hero of this entire story
it was soooo good
The acting here is AMAZING!
Great job, Mom !
She was awesome in this
Loveeeeee this ❤
God bless this woman❤
Mrs Jordan, from all of us. Thank you.
Cold blooded business woman
i really doubt she talked like this or how this even went down.
Cold blooded? She was fighting for her son's rights.
@@billted3323 "how this even went down" - So Nike is the ONE who offered a % of sales goes to MJ? (How generous of them)
Remember that MJ is the FIRST to ever got this kind of a deal.
@d3323 What gives you this assumption? You could use a reality check from the outside world if you believe this phone call is overly dramatized. Leveraging is a very common tactic.
Michael Jordan himself asked for Viola Davis to play his mother. Make of that what you will. They asked for his blessings.@@billted3323
Viola Davis is just a treat to watch💯
What a woman 🌹
23 comments. Greatness that is palpable. Salute to the Black Cat
Everybody should use this kind of negotiation in the company if you have leverage use it now rather than later.
I'm filing a complaint to the Department of Labor against my job. This scene lets me know I'm doing the right thing.
@@mariecampbell3373 Goodluck to that. The best thing you can do is put more value to yourself gain more knowledge and use it as your leverage.
Smart mom
I wonder if there is any 80s kid on that planet who didn’t have a pair of Air Jordans 🤩
Greetings from Austria
VIOLA!
Chills 🥶
Not all shoes just the ones with the name on😊
Love that!!
This was a master move
What movie is this?
@@nehaaiman6900 Jordan.
Boss move.
And nike didn't made a mistake..nike is on top now..❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Shelby at 2:23 is a nice touch
Was lookin for this comment as soon as I saw it.
Her makeup looks good
Those companies are smart, but thank God for giving her Wisdom
She was good in The Help, and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, and lots of other productions. This scene also reminds me of the story of the tennis player Novak Djokovic's mom, who recognized early on how talented her son was, that he could be a world champion athlete. I imagine Mozart's mother was proud as well. Mama bear looks out for her cub.
Viola Davis is the real deal. Saw her in stage in New York - powerhouse. Damon not too shabby either! Great scene. Great story.
Working on the worth of my name. Good lesson
That is marketing at it’s best! I know Jordan was a fantastic player…. But he will always be remembered for his PR skills. By the way…. Nice Easter Egg with the Cobra model on the Computer monitor.
That shelby cobra on Mat Daemons charater moniotor...I see aht you did there...
This is a GREAT MOTHER! Amen, for her speaking up on his behalf.
Even the Kentucky Colonel got residual payments every time KFC used his image.
name of movie please
What movie
Did you see the Shelby???????
that music at the end, not the best when ur trying to hear whispering
Wow
What’s the movie name
This is so random, but I LOVE that top. It would be even better as a dress.
Wonder was the Shelby car put on the desk as a cameo
Mrs. Jordan taught Michael how to dunk.
❤❤❤
2:23 Cobra GT from ford vs ferrari !
what is the movie title?
Just watched the movie. I enjoyed and loved every second watching this movie. This movie is a Masterpiece. Well done. 👏👏💪🏀😃
I wonder how accurate this conversation is. I wonder how it actually went down.
Does he have a shelby cobra model? If intentional that would be a nice easter egg
Love it!! 8873
MJ said "let her cook!"
And that's why workers who are not Jordan need to unionize and also get percentages of the benefits of their work.
She finessed him🫶🏽
"What Michael knows hes gonna do"
Viola Davis is a great Actress. Never disappoints 💯
Wats the movie name
Inspirational but i wonder if those were the actual words of his mum
They may have been, but the percentage idea was given to her by Vaccaro and others, so Nike wasn't shocked when she asked for a percentage of all the shoes with Michael's likeness on them.
It is reported that Jordan still makes 200M + a year from that shoe deal.
Imagine being able to spend 500k a day and still make money at the end of the year.
If so, thats amazing. Big responsibility to be a wise steward of that kind of flow.
Curious if this scene actually happened, and if so, was she portrayed as business savvy just how it is in the scene?
Pretty sure this is a highly condensed version but yeah I believe his mom is the one that pushed for ownership even harder than he did
Sonny Vaccaro said it did happen like this, and Jordan mom knew and understood Jordan's worth and what he was going to do for nike
