How ironic that Magic was fighting for $600k and no one taught him the value of stock options, thereby leading him to make the worst financial decisions of his life. He rejected an offer by Nike for 100k shares and $1 for every shoe sold. Nike sells approximately 780 million shoes a year now. He'd be making almost $1 billion every year just on shoe sales alone. I can't imagine how it must be to think how rich he could have been had he just signed an agreement with Nike in 1979. It's impossible for me to imagine what that kind of money must feel like.

Had he been respectable and fair he might have gotten him down to 500 + tuition, or possibly 525 without. Can tell jerry is a far better negotiator right off the bat.

It’s so oddly weird that chose a really good actor but almost literally resembles Magic Johnson

Thanks youtube for reminding me that this show didn't get the respect from HBO that it deserved.
