The NBA GOAT is taking on yet another challenge in his basketball career. Chicago Bulls great and NBA legend Michael Jordan will serve as a “special contributor” to NBC’s coverage of the NBA in the fall.
The network — which regularly broadcast NBA games from 1990 to 2002 — will resume coverage of the sport in the fall after reaching an 11-year agreement with the league.

When NBC starts covering games again, Jordan will be a part of that coverage.
The network has not announced Jordan’s specific role just yet, calling him a “special contributor.” It’s unclear how often Jordan will appear on the network or what his job duties will entail.
Regardless of his role, Jordan is more than qualified to talk about the sport. The Hall of Famer spent 15 years in the NBA, winning six championships with the Bulls. He was a 14-time All-Star, 11-time All-NBA selection, 10-time scoring champ and five-time MVP. To this day, Jordan is considered the greatest basketball player of all-time.

Following his playing career, Jordan served in a front-office role with the Washington Wizards. He then purchased a minority stake in the Charlotte Hornets. He was named the managing member of basketball operations with the club. Jordan eventually gained majority control of the team and held it until 2023, when he sold the franchise to Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall. Jordan still has a minority stake in the team.
This story will be updated.

VOTE: Would USA have gone on to win Ryder Cup had Lowry missed putt?
Team USA would "most probably" have gone on to win the Ryder Cup had Shane Lowry not sunk an emotional birdie putt at Bethpage Black on Sunday...That is the view of Jose Maria Olazabal, one of Luke Donald's European vice-captains in New York last weekend, after his continent claimed a 15-13 win on away soil. Lowry knocked in at 18 to halve his match with America's Russell Henley and take Europe to the 14 points needed to retain the cup.

Why Forest legend McGovern is happy playing ball boy at 75
Ange Postecoglou could barely believe the scene during his first training sessions at Nottingham Forest. "John McGovern was running around chasing balls today and I'm going, 'What are you doing, John? You are a legend, you don’t have to do that.'"It is true that McGovern does not have to do this. But he wants to do it. It has become part of the routine for the man who captained Forest to two European Cup wins. He turns 76 later this month but still gets a kick out of his daily visits to the training ground. "It is not quite as good as actually joining in," McGovern tells Sky Sports. "Obviously, those days are long gone. But it is nice to see the players in training." The Scot has been doing this for years now, a tradition initiated by former Forest […]
