Getting a deal with Michael Jordan: Sonny Vaccaro talks
Sonny Vaccaro recently appeared on the latest episode of the Rich Eisen Show. He got candid about Jordan’s deal with Nike. After the NBA legend’s mother talked Jordan into the deal with Nike, he wanted a partnership with Nike, but was more keen on getting a car out of it. In fact, Jordan would have settled on the deal just for the car. The NBA legend would have missed out on $1,500,000,000+ had he settled for a Red Mercedes.

However, his mother, Deloris, had different demands. Sonny was asked by the host of the show Rich Eisen if it was true that Jordan’s mother ended up getting a part of the shoe. Sonny responded to the host’s question. And he was brimming with admiration for the NBA legend.
