At Magic Johnson’s debut into the NBA, he became an instantaneous celebrity sneaker endorsement kingpin. Following his exploits at Michigan State and his impressive showing against Indiana State’s Larry Bird in 1979 NCAA Final, companies from across the nation vied for his services to dress him. Converse offered $100,000 cash instead of 100,000 shares valued at about $5.2 billion from Phil Knight; Magic ultimately chose Converse over any newcomers such as Nike whose shares would soon be worth their weight in gold by 2023 if taken up as offers from Phil Knight which could potentially become worthier options; ultimately choosing Converse over its offer made up by Phil Knight was key in signing him and not taking Phil Knight up on Phil Knight offer of 100,000 shares from Nike (worth about 100k cash or 100,000 shares later worth around that value). Converse opted for $100,000 cash sign up.
