NBC parceled out a few more minutes of the Michael Jordan-Mike Tirico interview they recorded in the offseason during its Tuesday NBA coverage. This part of their conversation centered around load management and—guess what—Jordan said he doesn't much care for that particular part of the sport's evolution.

It was something that I felt like the fans are there that watch me play. I want to impress that guy way up on top who probably worked his ass off to get a ticket or to get money to buy the ticket."
