All ball players owe Mrs. Jordan a debt of gratitude.

This one phone call made Michael a billionaire and changed the landscape of shoe deals forever.

[reesereserved]

Matt Damon's acting here top tier. You can really feel his frustration yet trying to remain patient and polite

[L.V.]

“You eat, we eat.” One of the best sayings in the business world when negotiating.

[truthwall]

She knew exactly the worth of JORDAN....

MJ told Ben Affleck that he would only bless off on the movie under one condition: Viola Davis played Mrs. Jordan. MJ should get casting credit.

This was an amazing scene of Viola Davis playing as Michael Jordan’s mom. She killed it. Why didn’t she win an award?!?!?

[StuartHess-zd]

Viola Davis is a master. I briefly forgot this is a movie and she is playing a character.

[christinareyes]

That was one really smart woman with foresight.

[anand]

This is just amazing. Mom's confidence of her son and MJ's. Amazing

[melodymb]

A mother always knows what her child is capable of and therefore what he deserves. I’m so glad Mrs Jordan had the courage to stand her ground

[jazzmynh.]

When she started doing those triple blinks, I knew she was going to get the job done! Way to go, mama Jordan!!

[Thommyn]

Goes to show,
You get the offer of a lifetime
You get someone to check the fine print so you get your worth.
A lawyer, or a loving mother.

[javiercalzada]

Viola Davis should've been nominated for an academy award.

[mariecampbell]

Mike's mom was his first lesson in business & negotiating. She's largely the reason why he is now a billionaire.

[divad]

This is the moment MJ's mom took it personal

[ashwinkakumanu]

A shoe is just a shoe until my son steps into it. ❤‍🔥

[bigcush]

Mrs Deloris Jordan mam thank you for your wisdom, knowledge, strength and persistence and protection of the legacy of your son!

[sandygreen]

There’s nothing like a mother that TRULY loves and protects their children. The actor that voiced simba in lion king, Jason Weaver, mother did the same thing. Til this day he gets a check from the movie.

Her eyes were done really amazing by that makeup artist. That makeup as a whole looks really pretty.
