Michael Jordan is set to become a special contributor to NBC Sports for the 2025-26 NBA season. “I am so excited to see the NBA back on NBC,” the six-time champion 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.” Former NBA stars Reggie Miller, Jamal Crawford, and Carmelo Anthony will also join the broadcast team alongside Mike Tirico and Noah Eagle. “Michael’s legacy both on and off the court speaks for itself,” NBC Sports president Rick Cordella said. “We’re incredibly proud to have him join our coverage.” (UPI)
