Michael Jordan will continue his limited involvement in NBC's NBA coverage as a special contributor, focusing on pre-taped interviews rather than live game analysis. The series 'MJ: Insights to Excellence' features Jordan sharing personal reflections on the game and critiquing modern NBA practices like load management.
