David Sterling Banned.....FOREVER!!

If You Know Me, You Know I Love Me Some Art... Though The Term & Phrase These Days is Overused, I Still Find Some Great Pieces With Great Messages. While Skimming The Net I Found This Picture That Was Made Not Too Long After Commissioner Adam Sliver Of The NBA Banned David Sterling, Owner Of The LA Clipper (Not Sure For How Long). If You Know Anything About Jordan's Then You Should Know The Significance Of This Piece. If You Don't Know, Here Is A Crash Lesson. As You Can See Michael Jordan Is Handing David Sterling A Pair Of Air Jordan 1's. These Particular Sneakers Were Banned From The NBA In 1985 Because There Wasn't Enough White In The Shoe To Match The Uniforms. If Jordan Wore The Shoe He Was Fined $5,000 Every Time. As A Marketing Tool, Nike Gave A Hint That The Shoe Gave An Unfair Advantage To Whomever Wore Them. Nike Also Picked Up The Bill For The Fines Every Time. I Found It Very Entertaining That The Artist Who Goes By The Name "REE" Drew Michael Jordan Who Is Arguably The Greatest Player To Ever Play The Game, African-American & Also The Chairman Of The Brand Whom Chris Paul (LA Clippers) Is Signed To Hand Sterling A Pair Of Banned 1's. Kudos To You REE...
