The video that went viral

“The important thing to understand is that this is not the story of Michael Jordan. They’re not his rights, we don’t have anything from him, it’s important to respect him, but he didn’t go to make that movie. So I had the opportunity to talk to him or something like that and I asked him what are the most important things in this story for you and he told me three things, he asked me if I’m going to have Jorge’s character too, and the most important one, He said, ‘You have to have Viola Davis, for my mother.’ That is like being told that you have to play basketball, but you have to have Michael Jordan, ”he said at the time.
