1. Oh wow. That’s a big get!

2. Well that was unexpected.

3. Ayoooo bruh MJ probably got $20million/year contract for this gig

4. What does “special contributor” mean

5. Other than the weird Fagan AI stuff, NBC is kind of nailing every aspect of their NBA return so far

6. Wow that’s crazy

   He’s almost like a mythical creature because we rarely hear from him nowadays

7. Wow how tf did they pull this off

8. NBC recruiting “Dream Team” roster 😂

9. Cautiously optimistic about his analysis. He hasn’t really done that much insight since leaving basketball, largely stayed quiet while owning teams

10. Wtf

11. WHAT

12. honestly been wondering when, if ever, we would see MJ in a commentary role. Seen enough old heads getting on podcasts to talk about how truly difficult it was to go against him. I wonder what he has to say about this era of softees into today’s game.

13. Space Jam 2025 baby

14. Someone at Peacock has juice.

15. Lmaooo MJ doing GOAT discussions with SAS

16. I need MJ commentating a LeBron playoff series so bad 

17. >The network has not announced Jordan’s specific role just yet, calling him a “special contributor.”

    Yeah, you really gotta wonder what he’ll actually do.

18. Marcus cost daddy so much money. Mike had to come out of retirement to earn bread 😭.

19. All these comments will be taking personal by the man himself. It’s all personal.

20. This role would have been so perfect for Kobe Could you imagine: Kobe Bryant halftime interview with Pope Leo

21. the GOAT is back im so hype

22. NBC getting my hopes up

23. He will bring the NBA on NBC music back.

24. B B B B B BASKETBALL GIMME GIMME GIMME THE BALL BECAUSE IM GONNA…DUNK IT!

25. Wow, I was NOT expecting that.

26. Hyped!

27. Its like a bigfoot sighting when this guy does anything. Legit a mythical figure

28. Damn NBC really got Jordan to somehow make appearances on tv. He’s been a ghost since he retired from ball

29. NBC bringing back broadcasting the player intros and now they got the GOAT.

    It’s over for ESPN

30. The Black Cat what a get

31. No fucking way

32. I really want him to join NBA on TNT for the last few episodes.

33. When’s the last time he was in the spotlight at a high profile event? Kobe’s memorial?

34. ESPN gotta be so pissed lol. They deserve it for the shit they’ve been putting out the past decade

35. How?! I’m excited for sure but how?! Haha

36. Jordan was a team governor for the past twenty years and couldn’t work for a broadcaster. Only for the last year was he even available, but of course he’s also now a multi-billionaire and doesn’t need to work so I don’t know why he’s doing this. Maybe he’s just got takes he needs to get off.

37. This is like if you heard the glass shatter and Stone Cold Steve Austin returns.

38. They’re building a fucking squad

39. I hate this video. They cut to the next clip EVERY time right before the ball goes in. It’s so unsatisfying.

40. HOLY SHIT

41. WOW!!

42. Will Michael Jordan be the guy who sits down w/a young aspiring athlete for an inspirational puff piece and instead break down his foot work and his lack of drive????

    I want him to exclusively choose everyone who claims they got “a lil Jordan in them” and systematically break down why they don’t.

43. I would unironically watch just to hear Mike talking Xs and Os for three minutes. You NEVER hear him talk about basketball on a technical level.
