Marcus Jordan, who is the son of Michael “Air” Jordan, might have cost UCF a sponsorship deal with Adidas.

The University of Central Florida had a exhibition game against Saint Leo University on Wednesday and Marcus, the freshman, guard, wanted to wear his dad’s shoe, a pair of white “Air Jordans”. Marcus said Nike hold special meaning to his family.

Now get this, Marcus play 10 minuets in the first quarter alone and no one had anything to say. UCF wins the game 84-65 and some website made the reports about him only wanting to wear his fathers shoes and now Adidas has got there panties in a bunch and does not want to renew their contract with the school in 2010.

This is going to be a blessing in disguise. I’m sure Nike will step right up to take this opportunity to sponsor the school and work with Michael Jordan’ son. The University of Central Florida would be lucky to have a contract with Nike.

Michael Jordan has still got it! See him recently playing one-on-one. Check him out schooling this guy. He still has that pretty jump shot we know and remember.
