In 2025, after NBA on NBC’s return was confirmed, the network stoked up major buzz by announcing basketball legend Michael Jordan had been tapped for a position. The Chicago Bulls icon was dubbed a “special contributor,” and details on Jordan’s gig were kept heavily under wraps early on. Last fall, it was finally revealed that Jordan took part in a pre-taped interview with Mike Tirico and that clips would be shared throughout the NBA season. Fans have since taken issue with that, and it seems Charles Barkley isn’t so happy either.
