The GOAT is back—not in sneakers, but in a suit. Michael Jordan joins NBC Sports as a special contributor for the 2025-26 NBA season, kicking off this October. Yes, His Airness is bringing his legendary flair to the broadcast booth.
Jordan’s history with NBA on NBC is as iconic as his fadeaway jumper. From six championships to six Finals MVPs, the man’s résumé still flexes harder than most gyms. Now, he’s adding TV legend to his already stacked highlight reel.
NBC is pulling out all the stops. The new 11-year NBA deal includes games on Peacock, Monday night streams, and Sunday Night Basketball. Alongside Jordan, expect hoop legends like Jamal Crawford, Carmelo Anthony, and Reggie Miller to drop courtside takes hotter than a Game 7 in June.
Oh, and that classic “Roundball Rock” theme? It’s back, baby—along with a recreated voiceover from Jim Fagan for full nostalgia vibes.
With Michael Jordan teaming up with NBC Sports, NBA coverage just got its biggest upgrade since the three-point line.
So grab your popcorn, fire up Peacock, and get ready for a full-court press of entertainment. The season can’t tip off soon enough.
