OT- Michael Jordan continues to get richer and richer

[Iceman]

Saw this article on Jordan about the royalties he gets from Nike. He received $100 million from Nike 2.6 billion dollar revenue off of Jordan's Brand. The projection for his royalty by 2020 will be $200 million! He made a total of $96 million over his 15 year career. Talk about making a name for himself! I love Jordan gear..

If you have a lot of money it is a lot easier to continue making more money.

Money made off of fools who think his silhouette on their shoes makes them play better.

What is wrong with you? Seriously, calling children fools for looking up to someone and wanting to emulate that person. I guess they should strive to be nothing and save their shoe money.

He just knew how to market himself and keep the money coming in even after his retirement. There are alot of others that could have done the same thing, but didn't take that route and now need a job. Good for him and I have always liked MJ.

That's a comment for fools who make generalizations. I have owned a few pair in my day and not one time was I delusional to think it made me play better. Trust me...it didn't. LOL.

I don't know how accurate either is, but if you google "Air Jordan deaths or killings" you'll have plenty of reading if you like.

I have to remove myself from this conversation now because of a conflict of interest.
