Michael Jordan Joins NBC’s NBA Coverage As ‘Special Contributor’

Michael Jordan has added another role to his already stacked résumé!

The NBA legend has joined NBC’s NBA coverage team as a special contributor. This will mark a new journey for Jordan, who, despite this extensive knowledge of the game of basketball, hasn’t taken on a role in sports commentary until now. In a statement about the announcement, Jordan said,

“I am so excited to see the NBA back on NBC. The NBA on NBC was a meaningful part of my career, and I’m excited about being a special contributor to the project. I’m looking forward to seeing you all when the NBA on NBC launches this October.”

If you’re a sports fan, you may recall that last year NBCUniversal and the NBA announced an 11-year deal to broadcast NBA and WNBA regular-season and playoff games starting with the 2025-26 season. Now, it looks like Peacock is pulling out all the stops to ensure its broadcast deal is a game-changer.

According to NBC News,

“Peacock will livestream exclusive national Monday night games. NBC and Peacock will have national coverage of regional doubleheaders on Tuesday nights, while NBC Sports will launch ‘Sunday Night Basketball’ next year.”

In addition to Jordan, you’ll see fellow retired NBA stars Jamal Crawford and Reggie Miller serve as game analysts, and Carmelo Anthony as a studio analyst.

Are you ready to hear Jordan’s take on the NBA?
