    I guess being a self-centered prick, unconcerned with how his actions affect others, runs in the family.

    That is absolutely asinine on their part, I don't hold anything against Jordan for this. You'd think they could make an exception since, you know, his DAD is Michael Jordan. It's not like it's some random kid being a jerk IMO

    Contract is a contract is a contract.

    As a UCF student...I really hate that this is costing the University so much. He wasn't a great high school player and he had 1 point in one of our exhibition game...Adidas is hurting the sports here that actually perform...like golf and volleyball..who have been among the top programs in the country

    yeah..blame the kid when the school told him it was fine.:pity:


    Do you guys even read? And do you really think Nike doesn't swoop in and grab this contract. Win-win

    IMO there's a lot more to this story. There's a level of pettiness being displayed above and beyond normal contractual wrangles.

    UCF told Marcus Jordan he could wear Jordan's before he committed and thats the only reason he went to UCF. Adidas is a bunch of babies. Its one pair of shoes to the son of Michael Jordan. If my dad had a pair of shoes espcially for basketball u know i would be in those. Like Marcus said its Family Pride. Marcus Jordan did nothing wrong

    The only thing is that the coach will be out some cash in this whole thing.

    Yeah, 'cause that's what collegiate TEAM sports is all about - NOT winning, NOT the fans, not the TEAM...

    It's about one ****ing guy being able to wear the shoes HE wants to wear, which are not only NOT THE SAME AS THE REST OF HIS TEAM, but actually cost a small college a major source of revenue.

    Way to show the exact location of YOUR head.

    Regardless of who was told what........had he just worn the same shoes as the rest of his team mates and not felt the need to stand out from the others, there would be no discussion on the matter. Because that's the real issue here....

    So they pitched him this while recruiting him? It was their idea?

    Yes.

    A self-centered prick, just like his dad.

    Hey, maybe the kid can give a rambling, vindictive and petty speech about this whole matter.

    if he was told it was ok then them losing the adidas contract is on the school not him. its not his job to worry about contracts with shoe companies.

    While that is true......he started the whole mess by having to wear daddy's shoes

    Tiger lives in the area.....maybe he'll step in and get Nike to hook them up. Their golf team is far more relevant in college sports anyway.

    i doubt they'll go without shoes for long dude. they are a major college who gets on tv.
    I don't know why he wanted to wear his dads shoes, nor do I think he had a good reason, but, if the college told him it is fine, i will say i do not know if he pushed hard to wear his fathers shoes. In which case the contract loss is on the school imo.

    Because as a thinking, reasoning person I can differentiate between the basketball player and the asswipe who gave that unbelievably petty, vindictive speech recently.

    Give it a try.

    You dont turn that killer instinct on and offl like a kitchen light. What made him the best ever at basketball is also what made him an ***. He is what he is.


    As for the shoe thing, this is the most ******ed debate ever. Who the **** cares what brand of shoes he wears? Petty of everyone involved from the kid, to the school to Adidas. End of story.

    I always thought people went to college to get an education...

    This must be the "How to handle contracts" class.
