The brand signed Jordan while he was yet to prove himself on the court and their great gamble paid off in the long run. Nike is one of the most famous brands in the world currently and MJ certainly played a part in their success.

During the interview, she revealed that her father missed out on billions that could have been earned had Michael Jordan done something differently.

Daughter Jasmine reveals a huge mistake that cost Michael Jordan billions

Jordan was already a huge star before making his NBA debut. He made a name for himself while at the University of North Carolina where he won an NCAA title. His successes earned him his first-ever mega contract in the year 1984 when Air Jordan was merely a rookie with the Chicago Bulls.

The contract earned him $500,000 a year and tied him to the company for 5-years. The brand took a huge gamble in putting its faith in a rookie and it paid off over the years.

Although this is one of the greatest deals ever which played a part in MJ’s successes, his daughter is still not satisfied. According to her, the six-time NBA champion could have approached the deal differently.

“Maybe that first Nike deal wouldn?t have been as low as it was. It would have changed the game. He would have potentially approached his contracts with Nike differently. Looking at his Funko Pop collectibles or the fact that people still wear his UNC jersey, to reap the benefits from it today, we?re talking making trillions at this point?, said Jasmine Jordan during an interview.
