Michael Jordan made his much-anticipated debut on NBA on NBC during halftime of the Rockets' opening night game against the Thunder, the reigning league champions. Jordan, regarded by many as the greatest basketball player of all time, has largely stayed out of the spotlight and not held a television role following his Hall of Fame career—until now.
Earlier this year, NBC announced that Jordan would be joining the return of NBA on NBC as a special contributor. In the first edition of his segment, MJ: Insights to Excellence, Jordan spoke to NBC lead play-by-play commentator Mike Tirico about why he's now joining the network as a special contributor.
