The One Club for Creativity has announced that NBA great Michael Jordan, Nike co-founder Phil Knight and filmmaker Spike Lee are being inducted into the The One Club’s Creative Hall of Fame. 

The inductions are based on a legacy of creative work that the trio collaborated on for Nike athletic footwear, including famous campaigns starring Jordan with the character Mars Blackmon, portrayed by Lee — that “transcended the ad industry to become part of pop culture, and changed the way the world thinks about athletic footwear,” according to the organization.
