NBC Disputes Reports of More Michael Jordan Interviews in NBA Coverage

Jordan’s NBC presence remains a pre-recorded “special contributor” role with no live studio plans.

Overview

  • Front Office Sports reported that unnamed sources believe Jordan could sit for two or three additional interviews, potentially timed near the 2026 All-Star Game and the NBA Playoffs.
  • NBC later characterized that reporting as speculation and overwhelmingly inaccurate, declining to confirm any future appearances.
  • The first two “MJ: Insights to Excellence” segments were cut from a single interview with Mike Tirico, prompting viewer frustration over repetitive, heavily edited clips.
  • Sources indicated any further sitdowns would occur on Jordan’s schedule and that he is not expected to appear in-studio or courtside during live broadcasts.
  • NBC/Peacock’s new NBA package includes All-Star Weekend, and even Jordan’s limited taped comments—such as on load management—have generated outsized attention.
