NBC Hires Michael Jordan to Contribute to NBA Coverage
In a surprise move, NBC said Monday that it has hired Michael Jordan to contribute to its NBA coverage, which tips off later this year.
Jordan, of course, is widely considered among the greatest, if not the greatest, NBA player of all time, leading the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships.
NBC announced Jordan’s hire during its upfront presentation in New York, after composer John Tesh took the stage for a live performance of the NBA on NBC title theme “Roundball Rock.” Jordan appeared via a video message to announce his return as a special contributor.
“I am so excited to see the NBA back on NBC,” said Jordan 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.
