Michael Jordan's True Feelings on NBA on NBC Role Revealed

NBA legend Michael Jordan has joined NBA on NBC as a special contributor. 

Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six titles in the ’90s. All six championships were aired on NBC.

“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.”

It's unknown what Jordan will be doing for NBC next NBA season, but according to Noah Eagle, the Bulls icon is “legitimately excited” about joining NBC.

“I was told that he was legitimately excited,” Eagle said on the Awful Announcing Podcast with Brandon Conteson. “Jon Miller, who is a long-time NBC Sports guru, I’m going to call him. He’s one of the higher-ups within our division. And he and Michael have known each other for decades, going back to when the NBA on NBC was in its heyday and Michael was winning championships, and have only grown closer and closer over time. 

"So, I know Jon was instrumental in making it happen. “And I asked him, I said, ‘Is he legitimately in on this?’ And he was like, ‘Yes, he’s fully, fully in.’ Whatever that means is great."
