Adidas’ Biggest Mistake Cost Them Michael Jordan

Jordan Brand currently sponsors 21 NBA players as well as players in other professional leagues, such as the MLB, NFL, NASCAR, WNBA, as well as Paris Saint-Germain.

It turns out that Nike can thank one of its biggest competitors, Adidas, for getting Michael Jordan. How could one pass on Jordan, you ask?

In 1984, Jordan wanted to sign with Adidas, but executives from the franchise opted for taller players.
