Mike Tirico Says No New Michael Jordan Interviews Are Scheduled for NBC's NBA Coverage

Jordan's contributor role has consisted of one extended Tirico interview repurposed across broadcasts.

Overview

  • On the Jan. 15 SI Media with Jimmy Traina podcast, Tirico said there is nothing else scheduled with Jordan beyond the initial sit-down, though future appearances remain a possibility.
  • NBC has continued to run clips from the conversation throughout the season under its “MJ: Insights to Excellence” segments.
  • Tirico said he spent two days with Jordan before the season, recording about one hour and 45 minutes of interview time on the second day.
  • Tirico acknowledged the output has been more limited than many expected but described Jordan’s commentary on today’s NBA as valuable.
  • NBC announced Jordan as a special contributor in May 2025, and a Nov. 3 Front Office Sports report suggested two or three more interviews could happen, but none have been confirmed.
