However, his name is still discussed in sports entertainment, especially regarding the debate of the NBA’s greatest of all time (GOAT). One Twitter user wrote,
“he got tired of folks not emphatically reminding viewers he will always be GOAT- no one like Michael Jordan and it’s about time his voice is back.”
Another user wrote,
Yall played with Michael Jordan name too much on these debate shows, so he had to come outside!
Jordan spent 15 seasons in the NBA, winning six championships with the Chicago Bulls.
He was named Finals MVP in all six championships, holds the record for the most points scored per game, and has been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
NBC first broadcast NBA games from 1954 to 1962 and again from 1990 to 2002.
In the 90s, it broadcast some of the most significant moments in basketball, such as the 1992 Olympics “Dream Team,” Jordan’s championships, and his return to basketball after he took a break to play professional baseball.
In July, NBC Universal announced it had struck a deal with the NBA to broadcast NBA and WNBA games for the next 11 years.
The “Roundball Rock” theme song of the ’90s show will return. Other commentators include NBA veterans Jamal Crawford, Carmelo Anthony, and Reggie Miller.
