Fans were very excited about the news, as Jordan does not typically make himself available to the public.

That said, former NBA star Lou Williams doesn't think there will a of Jordan content.

Williams (via FanDuel TV's Run It Back): "My theory is I know that they are reintroducing that iconic intro. I think it just has something to do with the intro. Other than that, I don't think we're gonna see Michael Jordan weekly or bi-weekly talking about today's basketball... Michael Jordan don't care about no basketball player that ain't wearing that Jumpman symbol... We're getting tricked ya'll... Whatever Michael Jordan is contributing, he's probably recorded it already."

Still, adding MJ is a brilliant move. Every broadcast will begin with the same question: “Does HE show up tonight?” pic.twitter.com/Kcbssimp30
