Michael Jordan Hired by NBC as Special Contributor for 2025-26 Season

Michael Jordan is widely considered the GOAT in the game of basketball, and his voice and analysis are something a lot of people would covet a lot to gain some value on the insight from the mind of the greatest player to ever play the game. NBC announced Monday that they have decided to hire Jordan as a special contributor to their NBA on NBC coverage starting this fall. This is a groundbreaking deal for the NBC team, as getting the GOAT to give you analysis from time to time is going to be a great addition to their broadcasts. 

Jordan joins a Great Crew of Talent

NBA on NBC is gathering a great crew for its broadcast this fall. Along with getting Jordan as the special contributor, the games are being announced by Mike Tirico, Noah Eagle, Reggie Miller, and Jamal Crawford. Tirico and Eagle are the two play-by-play guys, and Miller and Crawford are Game Analysts. NBC also has Carmelo Anthony as a Studio Analyst for their broadcast, as well as more announcements more likely on the way. This is going to be a great competition for ESPN’s broadcast, for people to see who will have the better broadcasts. 

Final Thoughts

NBC getting Jordan will create CINEMA for their broadcasts throughout the upcoming season. This will make the NBA broadcast on NBC something to desire and anticipate every time that the GOAT is on the broadcast. I think a lot of people are going to flip their coverage over to NBC more often unless ESPN improves its quality. Looking forward to the competition between the two broadcast networks moving forward. Competition will be a great thing moving forward for both networks. Total Apex Sports has more NBA stories like this one all over the site, and more to come the rest of the year.
