This is a story about Nike and Michael Jordan.
How Nike on the ropes at the time was able to reposition itself by gambling all on a nascent basketball superstar.
How Michael Jordan with the help of his mother played convincingly by Viola Davis was able to change the rules on how a sports star is paid in endorsements.
We all know how the story ends but this shows us the beginning.
Matt Damon does a great job earnestly playing the roly poly Sonny Vaccaro who knows everything about high school and college basketball and has an overwhelming "feeling" but getting that signature was no easy task.
You could even say he had a dream.
Loved the retro music and settings being the same age as Michael this was my year too. This is a pleasant journey that left me in tears a few times and may also move you.
