Cam Newton to Michael Jordan: ‘Under Armour’s on the rise!’

They’re not just neighbors who park their Range Rovers side by side. (I mean, their Porsches. Their Range Rovers. Wait, no, their Porsche Range Rovers? Yeah. Right? “That’s how they do it, heh heh…”) anymore. They’re not just court side photo op close. It’s not just some headline-only He’s Obviously A Mentor Because I’m Young And Famous And He’s Old And Famous And Lives In The Same City thing, at least not if we’re to take what the Blessed Individual recently told Vibe about his relationship with Michael Jordan seriously. (And no one jokes around when you’re talking shoes. )

VIBE: Did you camp out for sneakers growing up?

Cam: Naw, I was never one of those guys. With me being close friends with Michael Jordan, I always give him a hard time and say, ‘Under Armour’s on the rise!”
