Michael Jordan will serve as a special contributor for NBC’s NBA coverage as the network prepares to broadcast games starting this October. NBC announced this during its Upfront presentation, heralding its return to the NBA after a 23-year hiatus, having previously aired the league from 1990 to 2002. Jordan expressed his excitement about the opportunity, highlighting NBC's significance in his career. The agreement with the NBA includes streaming on Peacock, with the new season to feature regional doubleheaders and a special 'Sunday Night Basketball' starting in January.
