Jordan commentator s first debut countdown! NBC hits a lot of money to form the All-Star lineup, fans: This commentator seat is more luxurious than the All-Star

Foreword: From "last shot" to "first complaint"

On May 14, 2025, a piece of news made basketball fans around the world excited - 62-year-old Michael Jordan announced his joining NBC Sports Channel and will serve as a special commentator in the NBA broadcast next season. This is the first time that the "God of Basketball" has been electrocuted in 21 years since he retired. He even cherishes his words on advertising and even wants to comment on the ball! The fans were instantly furious: "I can finally hear it openly, how did God spit out trash talk!"

This cross-border seems sudden, but in fact it has been foreshadows. NBC spent $76 billion to sign the 11-year NBA broadcasting rights, and invested heavily in creating an "all-star" commentary group. Superstars such as Reggie Miller and "Melon" Anthony have joined. But Jordan's joining is the real "king bomb" - after all, this GOAT, who holds 6 championships and 5MVP, can even breathe to set off a storm in the basketball world.

1. The "sex killing" behind the $76 billion

The fate of NBC and Jordan can be regarded as an epic of basketball. From broadcasting the Bulls' first three consecutive championships in 1990 to witnessing the curtain call of Jordan's Wizards' career in 2002, NBC's footage recorded his most glorious years. Now, with the NBA broadcast weight returning to NBC, Jordan's return is more like a "closed loop of fate" - when the classic theme song "I Believe I Can Fly" sounded, the DNA of countless old fans moved.

And the business ambitions of this cooperation are also amazing: NBC, Amazon and ESPN, has directly set a record for sports broadcasting history. Jordan's commentary debut will undoubtedly become the "appetizer" of this capital feast. Netizens joked: "How is this a commentary seat? It is clearly a money printing machine!"

2. Poisonous tongue or Versailles? Jordan's style speculation

player era Jordan was known as the "trash talk master". He once mocked Mutombo for "closing his eyes and free throws" and sneered at Payton, "How much does the Supersonic pay you to defend me?" Now he has moved to the commentary seat, and his style has become the biggest suspense.

fans have begun to think crazy:

Poisonous tongue mode: "You Doncic's backward jump shot is two levels worse than me!"

Versailles teaching: "I scored 63 points back then, but I didn't use all my strength..."

Secret bombing: "That migraine happened to Pippen? Actually, it was because I ate my pizza before the game!"

NBC is obviously well versed in the traffic code. In the trailer, Jordan's sentence "The current game is much easier than I did back then" instantly made a hot search. His old rival Barkley shouted from a distance: "Please show mercy on Jordan, don't let me be publicly executed after retirement!"

3. The cross-border from "stadium GOAT" to "commentary ceiling"

Jordan's cross-border is far more than "scanning faces". As a former Hornets boss, he is well versed in tactical games; as the creator of the brand empire, he has insight into business logic. These experiences make him perhaps the most "all-round" commentator in history - he can not only disassemble tactics from the perspective of players, but also predict transaction trends from the perspective of managers.

62-year-old Jordan no longer needs to prove anything. From players to bosses, from sneaker godfathers to philanthropists, he is always breaking boundaries. This cross-border commentary is not only a affectionate look back at basketball, but also a bold definition of the future - greatness is never limited to one form.

As he said in the official announcement video: "The return of the NBA to NBC is like returning to the night when I won the championship trophy." For fans, being able to witness the arrival of "God" again is the most luxurious gift of this era. When the broadcast signal in October lights up, perhaps we will find that Jordan's legend has never ended.
