Ben Affleck said he wouldn’t have made “Air” without Michael Jordan’s blessing. According to Affleck, that blessing came with at least two requirements.
Basketball legend Michael Jordan soars during the 1988 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. “Michael Jordan, for those of you who don’t know, is one of the most intimidating, impressive men you’ll ever see in your life,” Ben Affleck said Saturday in Austin, Texas.
Set in 1984, “Air” premiered at Austin entertainment and tech conference South by Southwest, often abbreviated as SXSW. Afterward, the film received a “long standing ovation,”. “Air” features an all-star cast, including: Affleck as Nike founder Phil Knight; Matt Damon as Sonny Vaccaro, the sports marketer who first signed Jordan to Nike; Viola Davis as Jordan’s mom Deloris Jordan; and Chris Tucker as eventual Jordan Brand vice president Howard White.
