Steve & Sasha are back for another episode of Sports Will Save Us All's SPORTS ON SCREEN with AIR, directed by Ben Affleck and starring Matt Damon, Viola Davis, Jason Bateman, and, of course, Ben Affleck as Nike head, Phil Knight.
Decked out in what Sasha calls "a rainbow of beige," Nike Executive Sonny Vaccaro (Matt Damon) relentlessly pursues an up-and-coming Michael Jordan (whose face we never see) to become the face of Nike's fledgling basketball division. Really. That's basically the whole movie.
So, did Jordan sign with Nike? Did Jordan's greatness ever pan out? You'll have to watch the movie to see. Just kidding, we all know how this one turns out. But is the movie any good? Steve is on fire this week and Sasha went deep into behind-the-scenes trivia to make this the best SPORTS ON SCREEN episode yet.
