I know people aren’t big fans of the 2 but I would love it if they retroed the 2 in the premium Italian leather like they originally did.
 
I think 4 straight was definitely going to happen. The top 4 players were in their prime: MJ, Scottie, Grant, BJ. The oldest one of them would have been MJ who would have been 31 in the '94 Finals. Kukoc was also young, there were only a few old guys on the team.

Also, I believe if the OLD-AS-HELL 96-98 teams could win 3 straight, this younger team could win 4 straight. Golden State played in 5 straight Finals, The easily could have won all of them, just change a few possessions here and there.

I'm not accounting for injuries or anything like that, just straight basketball. BUT, winning 4 straight could have ended up taking away some of the later titles because of fatigue.

Sonny Vaccaro is the real person behind all the marketing ideas for MJ at Nike. Sonny was communicating with Jordan’s family and promised he could get them the large contract and paid MJs dad under the table to persuade MJ to Nike. Sonny was the real boots on ground that made Nike a basketball a monster. Sonny and Nike had a falling out and they have erased his contributions from the storyline. Now ESPN is giving Jordan’s Mom all the credit😂

It was a bidding war between Nike and Adidas. Nike was willing to pay money under the table to make the deal happen. Adidas would not. Nike was down for cutting corners, sweatshops, and paying college athletes/coaches to sign deals. Sonny took the fall

I know of one person scollard23 scollard23 , this would make his year if they did release the 2s in a remastered premium build. I'm there as well as I got my 1995 pair still but sadly, the midsole is cracked! 😢 But the feel of that retro was wonderful compared to the 2004.

Back then, tapes didnt leak. They were on vhs and either were stolen or purposely promoted :lol:
LOL, I'm well aware of how it worked back then. Just meant like "if" (I would be shocked if they didn't make multiple) they did record one it could have been released like you said or sold to one of the pron tape companies at the time. Or even uploaded to one of those post Napster P4P sites in the early 00's.
 
Episode 5 and 6 showed MJ wasn't going to come back either way after 1998. He was already burnt out after the first three-peat.
