Cam Newton warns Michael Jordan on his new role and compares him to Tom Brady, Magic Johnson and Peyton Manning

Athletes may retire from their professional careers, but sports will not go away from them.

A faithful proof of this is the career as a commentator that has followed great figures such as Tom Brady, reporting NFL games or now Michael Jordan in the NBA as a contributor to NBC Sports.

In this regard, Cam Newton had no qualms about MJ’s new direction. On 4th and 1, the former quarterback and his co-host, Omari “Peggy” Collins, gave their opinions on the “harm” or “benefits” that this new challenge could bring to his mythical career, comparing him with other figures.

“When you see sports figures and public figures like Magic Johnson, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, they do it in that sport,” said Newton. “In the sport of basketball, there’s no bigger name than Michael Jordan. I think it can only help his empire. What better person to ask for advice or his take on certain basketball situations than MJ?”

Tom Brady, bored?

Although some commentators, fans and colleagues have labeled Brady as “boring,” Newton defended him and admitted that it can take time to get used to the dynamic and earn the affection of his fans in this area as well. And Jordan could suffer this fate as well.

In addition, the former Carolina Panthers quarterback said it is beneficial for those who have played a sport to speak out about it, as experience and knowledge complement each other. “Anytime a guy or girl has played the game can cover and talk about it, it gives a different approach, a different view, and it can only help,” Newton said.

On the other hand, the former New England Patriots did not hide the reality: anything he says will be harshly criticized and taken very seriously, but given his long track record. However, there is no doubt that we will have to follow MJ’s new job closely this season to find out if what Newton says is true or not.
