Finley would go on to become one of the first Jordan Brand athletes. He remembers that whether MJ was playing for a championship or against sumo wrestlers in Japan, he never lost his competitive nature. We did a little scrimmage against some local guys and a couple of the sumo wrestlers who probably had never touched a basketball in their lives, recalls Finley. He had fun with them and joked around, but at the end of the day he told us, ‘Yo, we're not losing this game.' He said, ‘I don't lose. Whether it's for charity, scrimmage, or in the season, I don't lose.'
