NBC dropped a bombshell just hours before the NBA Draft Lottery. NBC announced that Michael Jordan, arguably the NBA’s greatest player, will join their team as a special contributor.

NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Jordan is joining NBC Sports as a special contributor to its NBA coverage when the 2025-26 season begins. NBC made the announcement on Monday morning during its upfront presentation at Radio City Music Hall previewing the networks offerings during the upcoming television season.

Michael Jordan hasn't been an NBA media personality at all since retirement. Most of his involvement with the league came as the Governor and majority owner of the Charlotte Hornets until 2023. He never joined TNT or ESPN to share his thoughts on the game, so we literally have no clue how Jordan views the current generation of NBA players.
