TL;DR Summary

A deleted scene from Ben Affleck's upcoming film "Air" involved dissing the Portland Trail Blazers for passing on Michael Jordan during the 1984 NBA Draft. However, Affleck directed the scene with a key misdirection, causing him to scrap it and spare Portland the added humiliation. The film tells the story of how Jordan signed his historic shoe deal with Nike that same year and is set to release in theaters on April 5.
