Hollywood wants you to stop asking why they made a Michael Jordan movie without Michael Jordan

Stop Asking Who Plays Michael Jordan In Air

It doesn't matter

“While Michael Jordan remains one of the biggest names in basketball and is tangentially the main subject of Air, the Basketball Hall of Famer does not have a role in the movie. According to THR, "Jordan will be a mythic figure hovering above the movie and never seen, even as Vaccaro tries to reach him by gaining access to those close to him."

Instead they will focus on Viola Davis, who is playing his mom.

This shyt is about his mom. Like that Emmett Till movie. . They didn’t even cast anyone to play him.

Stop lying. It's not about his mom.

Directed by Ben Affleck, Air primarily focuses on the trials and tribulations of actor Matt Damon's Sonny Vaccaro, a sports marketing executive tasked with reinvigorating Nike's lagging basketball division. In order to accomplish his mission, Vaccaro gambles on one man – a relatively unknown athlete who would go on to define the sport. Using an Alex Convery script that previously featured on the 2021 Black List of the best unproduced scripts in Hollywood, Air tells the story of the Jordan-Nike partnership very much from the business' perspective. As such, and despite his enduring legacy, Jordan himself is actually a peripheral figure.

The irony of you having LeBron on your mind.

Stop lying. It's not about his mom.

It’s about his mom and some cacs. Is that the hill you want to die on? Does that really make it better?

We got enough Jordan movies.
When we gonna get a Candace Parker movie? She won MVP, ROY, and a Gold Medal while pregnant.

 

[VoxSphere74]

So cacs make a movie about making money off a Black man (MJ) without the Black man being in the movie and it just centers on them instead

 

[SupaDupaFresh]

If it's not about Jordan than what the hell is it about?

The only female basketball bio worth making is Cheryl Miller. Plus they would have to hold a casting call of ugly muthafukkas for casting Sheldon.
