Michael Jordan , one of the most popular and talented players in the history of the NBA, shocked fans as he announced he would be covering NBA on NBC last night. This news has excited fans as many can’t wait to see him back in action in the NBA world. While the NBA legend already has earned a huge wealth, it seems his new deal with NBC is all set to make him wealthier.
How much will Michael Jordan be paid as he signs a new deal with NBC?
Last night, Michael Jordan appeared in a video message during NBC’s presentation in New York.
Michael Jordan said, “I am so excited to see the NBA back on NBC. 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.”
NBC Sports president Rick Cordella also spoke about Michael Jordan’s contribution and said, “Michael’s legacy both on and off the court speaks for itself. We’re incredibly proud to have him join our coverage.”
Now, as per reports, the new deal with NBC is worth a whopping $40 million per year, making his deal one of the most expensive deals in the recent times. Tom Brady, the NFL legend, has a deal with FOX Sports for $37.5 million, which is still less than what Michael Jordan’s new deal is getting him.
