One thing I hate most-are unproven rookies who think because they have a certain last name they can make outrageous demands.
Today's Victim: University of Central Florida's freshman guard Marcus Jordan.
He AGREED to play ball at UCF. Going through recruitment, at some point he must have realized "this school wears Adidas, I am a spoiled brat, my dad is Michael Jordan, I want to wear Nike, this may be a problem."
Marcus Jordan only wears Nike. Just like his dad. So why would he chose a school that has a $3 million contract with Adidas? Chose a different school. Since he's playing at UCF, clearly he isn't as good as his dad, otherwise he'd try to go to Kansas (we wouldn't accept him cuz he's not worth wasting a scholarship on), Duke or North Carolina.
Again, why choose a school when you know they don't wear Nike? You are either completely selfish, pompous spoiled brat and think because your dad is MJ you can demand they make an exception for you. Or you paid Derrick Rose to take your ACT/SAT score to get into college and the score was so pathetic your only option was UCF. (Feel free to make the Derrick Rose/Memphis/Cheating scandal connection to that)
Suck it up. Wear the free Adidas gear. Or go back in time, sign letter of intent to play at a school that has a contract with Nike. Build your own legacy. Oh wait, UCF Basketball won't be winning the National Championship anytime soon, so trying to follow in your father's footsteps is already wasting your time.
*update- Through the rumor mills, I heard that UCF promised they would switch to Nike? Possibly an attempt to lure him to UCF? Regardless, he's a spoiled brat. Wear whatever jersey brand you are given. I mean it's not like you are PAYING tuition to go to that school.

He may not have the ability of his dad, but he's just as pompous an ass...MJ covered up competing company logos while playing for USA in the Olympics on the Dream Teams back in the day. What kind of man can't set that bullshit aside and play for his country no matter who the sponsor is? Looks like his class trickled down to his son..
ReplyDeleteUCF promised Marcus Jordan that he could wear his Nikes when he played for them. The university is going against the word they gave to Marcus.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is more of a thing about trust. If they said he could wear his dads Nike shoes, he should be able to wear them. UCF pulling this now is what is making it a big deal. Whether or not Marcus or the university should back down I do not know, but it was part of the recruitment.
