Michael Jordan's decision to join the NBA on NBC surprised a lot of people--including Adam Silver.
NBC announced last month that Jordan would be appearing as a contributor during the network's return to NBA coverage in 2025-26. It will be the first time "His Airness" has done any kind of media work since his retirement from playing in 2003.
On Wednesday, Silver appeared on "The Dan Patrick Show," and Patrick asked the NBA commissioner what kind of role he had in bringing Jordan into the fold.
