The NBA is returning to NBC, and to put an exclamation point on that, the network is bringing back the GOAT himself, Michael Jordan.
Jordan, 62, the greatest NBA player of all time, will join NBC Sports’ coverage of the league as a special contributor.
“I am so excited to see the NBA back on NBC,” Jordan said in a statement. “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.”
NBC Sports President Rick Cordella said he was “incredibly proud” to have Jordan on the broadcast team.
“Michael’s legacy both on and off the court speaks for itself,” Cordella said.
In 2024, the NBA and NBCUniversal agreed on an 11-year deal to start broadcasting NBA and WNBA games in the 2025-2026 season.
