lifetime. With an objective to sign Michael Jordan – the number three draft
pick at the time, the film showcases Air Jordan’s journey and society accomplishments
to become the trending success they are today.
Directed by Ben Affleck,
he does an incredible job making the drama similar to a light-hearted parody
while showcasing a mastermind-centric perspective to recruit basketball legend
Jordan.
It is a story which
focuses on various concepts such as fashion, music, sports and athleticism
themselves as a type of style and artistic expression, this film unpacks how

like Sonny.
The movie consists of many

success.
