"Just coming up with the different technologies and sitting down with the guys, they have a good understanding to collaborate with me, in terms of looking back in my past, understanding what's in my past. To me it's a great working environment and they know me inside and out. If I give them one word, they can institute that into the shoe, which to me is a great working relationship." - Michael Jordan [Quote 4 of 5]
