For U.S. Hispanic fans, the news is electrifying: Michael Jordan, considered by many to be the greatest player in NBA history, has returned to the league… but this time as a special analyst for NBC, marking his official return to the world of basketball broadcasting.
In the announcement released on May 12, 2025, NBC called its addition a “legendary addition” to its coverage of the 2025-26 season.
A message that shook the NBA
During the presentation of his “MJ: Insights to Excellence” series, Michael Jordan included a strong message.
This one was aimed at two of the biggest names of the current era: LeBron James and Stephen Curry.
“I wish I could take a magic pill, put on shorts and go out and play today,” he declared.

Michael Jordan
His intention is clear: the desire to return to compete at the highest level, albeit from another position.
His new role and the impact on the US.
For the Latino community in the U.S., this comeback is much more than a television job:
It is an opportunity to see on screen a legend who marked generations.
In his new role, Michael Jordan will appear as a special contributor in taped segments for pregame and halftime shows, providing his frankly critical and unfiltered look at the NBA.
Although it has been speculated that he could earn around $40 million a year, that number has not yet been officially confirmed and has been refuted by specialized media.
Whatever the actual number, Michael Jordan’s presence raises the expectation for any broadcast he participates in, which is a plus for U.S. basketball fans looking for high quality Spanish-language or bilingual content.
