NEW YORK — Michael Jordan is joining NBC’s coverage of the NBA when the league returns to the network later this year as “a special contributor,” it was announced Monday at NBC’s Upfront event for advertisers. “Looking forward to seeing you all,” Jordan said in a video message.
The six-time champion’s exact role remains unclear, but Jordan relayed that NBC’s coverage when he led the Bulls’ dynasty of the 1990s was a huge part of his career.
