As one of the most prominent figures in NBA history, Michael Jordan has always kept close ties to the league. Not far removed from his tenure as an owner, the six-time champion is set to take on a new role in the basketball world.
Next season, the league is set to begin its new media deal. Among the networks set to be providing coverage in 2026 and beyond is NBC. As they prepare for this, they’ve brought in a big name to help bolster their product.
On Monday morning, Michael Jordan announced his return to the NBA in a new capacity. He’ll be working with NBC in their coverage of professional basketball. MJ’s reported title with the network is “special contributor to the project.”
As of now, it is not revelaed exactly what Jordan will be doing in his new role with NBC.
