The Battle of the Shoes

Marcus Jordan....would be just another incoming freshman basketball player....at a mid major college....if his last name was something other than....Jordan.

Seems the University of Central Florida recruited this young man to play basketball. UCF has a contract with Adidas ....where their athletes ....wear Adidas branded attire.

Marcus agreed to wear the clothing.....but not the shoes. Marcus prefers to wear his daddy's....you may know him.....and his shoe. The most famous basketball player on the planet (Sir Michael ).....and the most famous shoe.....(Air Jordan).

UFC initially said, "No problem".......We can work with Adidas........

Not so fast..........my friend.......

Adidas put their "foot" down.


Adidas has said......."No deal".......If Marcus wants to wear Nike shoes......it will cost you $3 million in sponsorships.

So .......here is a small school........caught in the middle. And .....caught ....not doing their research......thoroughly.......They had to know ...who MJ was. They had to know......MJ's son..would only wear Air Jordan shoes.

Why recruit........a Nike athlete.......to an Adidas school?

And where.......is MJ?........and why hasn't he been heard from in all of this?

I think this just got resolved......at least for a year....(Marcus Jordan, UCF freshman, will trade his Adidas shoes for Nikes this season)........

We will keep you posted....

Overtime.......In ....Overdrive.....

In case you missed it.....

Last night in a Big East conference quarter final game in Madison Square Garden, Syracuse beat Connecticut, 127-117........

But that is only 1/6 ........of the story.
