The former Chicago Bulls star will join NBC’s NBA coverage team as a special contributor. US Sun reported that Michael Jordan would earn an annual salary of $40 million.
The rumor was denied by Ryan Glasspiegel from Front Office Sports, who said that number is “inaccurate.”
Michael Jordan, now 62 years old, is a six-time NBA champion and Finals MVP.
The basketball star has rarely appeared on TV since retiring but has shown enthusiasm since NBC reacquired the NBA broadcasting rights.

“NBA on NBC was a significant part of my career, and I’m excited to be a special contributor to the project. I can’t wait to see you all when NBA on NBC premieres in October,” said the star.
It has not yet been revealed how Michael Jordan’s participation will work during the season, but CNBC shared more about the star’s TV expectations.
“The initial plan is for Jordan to appear in pre-recorded segments during the season, offering analysis that will air in pre-game shows or during breaks.”
“He’s going to be brutally honest, I can guarantee that,” said NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith.
“The Michael Jordan I know, when he talks about basketball, is as honest as possible. He doesn’t try to offend or insult anyone, but he will tell you exactly what’s going on,” Stephen said.
