New stunning details emerge revealing Michael Jordan’s exact role with NBC Sports, shedding light on his off-court ventures.

Along those lines, NBC took the public by complete surprise this week by announcing Jordan would contribute to its NBA coverage beginning next season. Fans immediately wondered whether Jordan would abandon his J.D. Salinger-esque streak and begin weighing in on the happenings of the Oklahoma City Thunder in January.

NBC is leaning hard into ’90s nostalgia. And if that means bringing in Michael Jordan as a “special contributor,” so be it. Jordan has famously kept his distance from the media, sticking to his “Republicans buy sneakers too” approach by steering clear of controversy.
