June 12th News Recently, NBA President Adam Xiao Hua was a guest on the podcast program "DanPatrickShow" and talked about Michael Jordan's participation in the NBC commentary team.
Xiao Hua said: "It's been known that it took us decades to convince him to participate in the documentary "The Last Dance". He was unwilling to do it for a long time. We had those video materials long ago, and I know there were many other similar proposals over the years, but I think, for whatever reason, it's not until now that he let it go for some reason."
Xiao Hua said that he believes that the reason why Jordan was willing to accept NBC's invitation may be related to his deep feelings for this media--NBC was one of the major broadcast partners of the NBA when he was a player. He also mentioned that Jordan has always maintained a good relationship with NBC veteran executive Jon Miller and CEO Mark Lazarus.
"NBC told me about their idea of the role of Jordan. I think they are further finalizing the details. I talked to Michael about it. He is very excited. I think this also means that he will continue to pay attention to today's games. Of course, he is still a small shareholder of the Hornets, but he is still passionate about basketball."
"We often talk about games, and he insists that the game should return to purity. He still has a huge business territory around basketball - the Jordan brand, but more importantly, he still watches many basketball games, and he always maintains professional insights through watching a lot of games, which is still the core of defining his identity. So I believe fans will enjoy hearing his views on the modern league." Xiao Hua said.
