I don’t care how much it would cost him…Marcus needs to show up every game with his J’s cuz he could have been at another program and on the real..that’s the only reason this school is getting this type of attention this year….if it wasn’t for him..nobody would talk about about UCF..and everybody knows that..so they mind as well break their contract wit adidas..and get wit jordan cuz Marcus deserves what he was promised….matter fact..he should of had it in writing, so he could have had a contract also. The whole thing is a business anyway.

Marcus Riding the pine at a mid-major?…. seriously. He led one of the most talented teams in Chicago to a state Chip in one of the toughest basketball states! Put him somewhere in Alabama and he avgs 30ppg easy. Any idiot who is making comments about his talent based on his HS rankings, remember that Gilbert Arenas was ranked very low coming out of HS and Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler an Eddy Curry was ranked #1. Rankings don’t mean shit. This kid can flat out play ball.

They need to let him rock his J’s. They recruited him under false-pretense. And people calling him a scrub need to fall back…Is he going to be the greatest player to play the game Probably not….But to place those expectations on him based of his pops is LUDICROUS…..However if Mike would’ve married Cheryl Miller instead of Juanita we might’ve been talking about the next D-WADE

I loved playing in Chucks. I used to move so fast in high school in Chucks that my soles would heat up. Its crazy. There’s no shoe like that today.

I think Mike might just shill out the $3M out of pocket for shits and giggles–he’s got it. Claim it as a tax write-off, whatever…Adidas is dumb to nickle and dime, calling a breach of contract that can easily be replaced. And who buys Adidas team shoes other than colleges and High Schools anyways (or any team shoes for that matter)? Not like UCF hits a ton of tvs every year. This ish is ridiculous.

Transfer schools based on sneakers???? That is completely ridiculous!

University is when you are supposed to come out from your parents wings and become your own person, for a “Jordan” maybe that means having to face the shame of wearing Adidas so yuo get a shot to do your own thing at the D1 level.

And come on people, Adidas vs. Jordan Brand? Sure Nike is better sneakers but it’s not like Adidas are going to ruin your feet and future life. They are quality sneakers. Dudes wore Chucks for years and still ar efine.

This is the sole reason they recruited this bum, how else would UCF get National/Dime press, guy averaged 10 points a game as a senior for heavens sake, even I averaged more than him in high school.

@31

Yes, it matters to Adidas.

So many connectors to whats going wrong in our society – the entitlement issues of a kid who has earned nothing on a college stage. This is about an all athletics department college deal, not about one kid on a team. I loathe the idea of some sort of special treatment because your dad is a celeb. If the jordan brand company wanted to do a deal with the team they would. Maybe Marcus should be sweating pops about getting that done for the team. Otherwise it must not matter that much to MJ himself… which in turn means the child of Jordan should not care at all…
