Quotes
Sonny Vaccaro: [to Michael Jordan] Forget about the shoes, forget about the money. You’re going to make enough money, it’s not going to matter. Money can buy you almost anything, it can’t buy you immortality. That, you have to earn. I’m going to look you in the eyes and I’m gonna tell you the future. You were cut from your high school basketball team. You willed your way to the NBA. You’re gonna win championships. It’s an American story, and that’s why Americans are gonna love it. People are going to build you up, and God are they going to, because when you’re great and new, we love you. Man, we’ll build you up into something that doesn’t even exist. You’re going to change the fucking world. But you know what? Once they’ve built you as high as they possibly can, they’re gonna tear you back down – it’s the most predictable pattern. We build you into something that doesn’t exist, and that means you have to try to be that thing all day, every day. That’s how it works. And we do it again, and again, and again. And I’m going to tell you the truth. You’re going to be attacked, betrayed, exposed and humiliated. And you’d survive that. A lot of people can climb that mountain. It’s the way down that breaks them, ’cause that’s the moment when you are truly alone. And what would you do then? Can you summon the will to fight on, through all the pain, and rise again? Who are you Michael? That will be the defining question of your life. And I think you already know the answer, and that’s why we’re all here. A shoe is just a shoe until somebody steps into it. Then it has meaning. The rest of us just want a chance to touch that greatness. We need you in these shoes not so you have meaning in your life, but so that we have meaning in ours. Everyone at this table will be forgotten as soon as our time here is up – except for you. You’re gonna be remembered forever, because some things are eternal. You’re Michael Jordan, and your story is gonna make us want to fly.

Featured review

Surprisingly entertaining biopic about the rise of a sports brand

Nike are now synonymous with sports and sportswear, and Adidas’s great rivals, however it wasn’t always that way and this little film explains how they did it.

This film started off as a made for streaming movie, small(ish) in scale and with a decent but not spectacular budget. However the casting of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck (both in front of and behind the camera) really brought it up to another level. Whilst the final result still feels like a glorified TV movie, Damon is excellent as usual and for once Affleck doesn’t seem to be punching above his weight as an actor. This is actually a very well made and acted film, although the slight story may not be to everyone’s taste.

Viola Davis and Julius Tannon also turn in a good performances as Michael Jordan’s devoted parents. There are also solid turns from Chris Tucker (looking a few pounds heavier than the last time I saw him in anything worthwhile) and Jason Bateman amongst others.

It’s an interesting subject matter and I enjoyed the soundtrack too (many 80s songs of my youth) although it does have a lot of swearing so may not be appropriate for all. Ben Affleck is a very capable director and this is another good movie from him. If you enjoyed more recent biopic films like ‘The Founder’ and ‘Steve Jobs’ then you should enjoy this.

The main theme of the issue is fencers from Russia Konstantin Lokhanov and Sergey Bida won gold medals at the US championship. Earlier, the US Fencing Federation allowed the Russians to participate in the championship in a neutral status, but under certain conditions. The leadership of the Russian Fencing Federation believes that the athletes fled, and removed the head coach of the épée team Alexander Glazunov: is the coach to blame, and how to relate to what happened? Let’s discuss live.
