The last page of the presentation was a look at the documentaries, movies and shows Tollin and his company, Mandalay Sports Media, had done. “So there’s Kareem [Abdul-Jabbar], there’s Hank Aaron, there’s ‘Varsity Blues,’ there’s ‘Coach Carter’ and so forth,” Tollin said. “He’s actually looking at them all, and in the bottom right corner is ‘Iverson.’ He goes, ‘You did that?’” Tollin didn’t answer. Jordan repeated the question. Tollin wondered if this was going to work for or against him. Like the timing with the Cavaliers’ championship parade that morning, it was impossible to know. Tollin mumbled a cautious, “Yes.” Jordan took his glasses off, looked up and said, “I watched that thing three times. Made me cry. Love that little guy.” Then he walked around the desk, extended his hand and said, “Let’s do it.”
