Jordan, widely regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time, has countless legendary accomplishments including winning six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls, 10 NBA Scoring titles and an NCAA Championship with the University of North Carolina in 1982.
During his 15 seasons in the NBA (1984-2003), Jordan was a six-time NBA Finals MVP, a 14-time NBA All-Star and still holds the NBA record for career regular-season scoring average, with 30.1 points per game.
“I am so excited to see the NBA back on NBC,” Jordan said. “The NBA on NBC was a meaningful part of my career, and I’m excited about being a special contributor to the project. I’m looking forward to seeing you all when the NBA on NBC launches this October.”
Jordan was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame twice, once in 2009 for his individual career and again in 2010 as a member of “The Dream Team,” the 1992 USA men’s Olympics Basketball team that won gold. He also won gold for Team USA at the 1984 Olympics.

Jordan is one of eight players to accomplish a basketball triple crown: winning an NCAA championship, an NBA Championship and an Olympic gold medal during his incredible career.
Off the court, Jordan is a successful businessman, investor and philanthropist. His Jordan Brand (a division of Nike) has been a leader and innovator in athletic shoes and apparel since 1997. Jordan is also the first former player to become the majority owner of an NBA franchise, the Charlotte Hornets.
