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.

Michael Jordan's net worth, as of September 2024, was a whopping $3.5 million, according to Forbes. While earnings from his NBA career contributed to his massive wealth, it was his partnership with Nike that formed a major chunk of his wealth.
Apparently, as per reports, the success of Nike's
Air Jordans
continues to earn Michael Jordan a whopping $60 million each year.
While Michael Jordan sold the majority of his stake in the Charlotte Hornets in 2019, he continues to own his NASCAR team. Apart from this, Michael Jordan also endorses popular brands including McDonald's, Coca-Cola Cola and Gatorade.
It seems like Michael Jordan's new deal with NBC might just break all records in the history of the NBA.

Panthers vs Oilers: Panthers beat Oilers 5-2 in Game 5, inch closer to 2nd successive Stanley Cup title
Brad Marchand netted two goals, while Sam Bennett recorded his 15th goal of the playoffs, leading the Florida Panthers to a 5-2 victory against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 5 on Saturday night in Edmonton, bringing them closer to their second consecutive Stanley Cup championship. The Panthers' remarkable road record in these playoffs improved to 10-3. They now have the opportunity to secure the Cup at home in Sunrise during Game 6 on Tuesday night. — NHL (@NHL) by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Lookup Your Name. Claim up to £5,928! Scan and Claim Get Now Undo Unlike previous matches in the final, Panthers established and maintained a substantial lead. Sergei Bobrovsky demonstrated solid performance, saving 19 of 21 shots, supported by effective defensive play that restricted the Oilers' movement. The offensive contributions came from Marchand, Bennett and Sam Reinhart . Marchand achieved a notable milestone, joining Mario Lemieux as the only players in 50 years to score five-plus goals in multiple finals, while accumulating 13 career final goals, the highest among current players. Live Events — NHL (@NHL) Connor McDavid scored his first goal of the series after the Oilers fell 3-0 behind. Reinhart responded 46 seconds afterwards, restoring Panthers' three-goal advantage. Corey Perry's goal with 3:13 remaining proved insufficient. Eetu Luostarinen confirmed the victory with an empty-net goal at 1:19, quietening the home supporters. The Oilers' power play was unsuccessful in three attempts, as Panthers' aggressive penalty kill disrupted McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and their primary unit's usual effectiveness. Calvin Pickard experienced his first defeat in eight starts this spring, conceding four goals from 18 shots. He replaced Stuart Skinner after winning Game 4 as a substitute, moving his record to 7-1 from 7-0.

Mumtaz reflects on her first and only film with Amitabh Bachchan, says ‘he came from a wealthy family'- Read more
Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan is often seen as the man who went from nothing to everything—a struggler who made it big with sheer hard work. But actress Mumtaz , who starred with him in just one film, has a different opinion. In a recent interview with Radio Nasha, Mumtaz shared that she didn't see any real struggle in Amitabh's early days. 'See, I had to drop out of school in fourth grade, and I started working as an extra in films. I was 7 years old and we used to get Rs 500 for a role, out of which Rs 100 I had to give to person who got us the job, and the rest I used to give to my mother. On the other hand, Amitabh ji was a highly educated and classy person. His father was a known figure, and they had a bungalow and a nice life, so I don't understand why he needed to become an actor,' she said. ' Bandhe Haath ' – their one and only film Mumtaz worked with Amitabh Bachchan in the 1973 film 'Bandhe Haath', directed by OP Goyle. It was the only time the two actors appeared on screen together. Though the film isn't widely remembered today, it holds a special place for Mumtaz as it gave her the chance to work with someone she admired. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

I was very happy to work with him; he is a very nice person. He has a certain class, and I wish I could have done more films with him so that I could have learnt more from him. The year Big B rose to fame Interestingly, 'Bandhe Haath' came out in the same year as Amitabh Bachchan's big break—'Zanjeer'. That film made him a star overnight and earned him the 'angry young man' title. From then on, he went on to give back-to-back hits like 'Sholay' (1975), 'Deewaar' (1975), 'Amar Akbar Anthony' (1977), and 'Don' (1978). While 'Bandhe Haath' didn't reach the same level of fame, it remains a unique moment where Mumtaz and Amitabh Bachchan came together for the first—and only—time.

WTC Final: Curse lifted as South Africa can afford to forget the history of near misses
South Africa's captain Temba Bavuma holds the winner's trophy and celebrates with teammates (AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth) As the cameras panned to the Lord's balcony, the entire South African team was celebrating, barring one man, Temba Bavuma . The Black captain of the South African Test team — a team once regarded as a prized possession of the whites, in a nation divided by colour had his face in his palms. He was trying to soak in the moment. He may not have visualised this in his wildest dreams when he was growing up as a cricketer on the outskirts of Cape Town. The skipper could easily have walked out of the field on Friday evening with a hamstring pull, but he didn't. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Years down the line, when this victory will be discussed, Aiden Markram 's name will keep cropping up for what he did with the bat in a difficult chase. But all those who endured the roller-coaster of the WTC final for four days will remember Bavuma's 134-ball vigil on virtually one leg. 04:21 Lobo Predicted It, Again: South Africa's Historic WTC Win vs Australia Remember, Bavuma probably wasn't everyone's No. 1 choice as South Africa captain, just as Siya Kolisi wasn't when the Springboks the pride of white South Africa in those years of Apartheid won the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Kolisi didn't stop there, he went on to join a select group of rugby captains to win the World Cup back-to-back in 2023. These triumphs, the first being the 1995 Rugby World Cup immortalized by the 2009 Clint Eastwood film Invictus, in which Morgan Freeman played Nelson Mandela — have meant way more than just a win on the sports field. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ayacucho: Ecuatorianos: generen un segundo ingreso con Amazon CFD.

While Mandela used rugby as a unification tool in a country torn by racism, success on the cricket pitch was always considered a given for a nation blessed with incredible talent. Just before they got banned from international cricket, an all-white South African team consisting of the likes of Mike Procter, Barry Richards and Peter Pollock had whitewashed a powerful Australia 4-0. On their return on Nov 10, 1991 at Eden Gardens Kolkata in an ODI against India, the world was wowed by the magnificent Allan Donald. Come every World Cup, South Africa start as one of the favourites, till something other-wordly struck. While in 1992 it was the rain-rule that turned a chase of 22 runs off 13 balls to a bizarre 22 runs off one ball due to a five-minute spell of rain, in 1996 it was a brilliant Brian Lara innings in the quarters. In 1999, Hansie Cronje's South Africa were the best team for most parts of the tournament till the magic of Shane Warne and a last-over choke by Lance Klusener and Donald finished a dream. The choker's tag fell firmly on the South Africans and India were the beneficiaries just about a year ago in Barbados. Needing 30 off 30 in the T20 World Cup final, a South African team that hadn't put a foot wrong till then in the tournament, messed it up as Suryakumar Yadav's catch of the century in the last over won Rohit Sharma's boys the title. Long after that game was over, as India celebrated, the South Africans didn't leave the ground. One could see them sitting in their balcony, staring at India's moment of triumph. Probably they were internalizing the hurt promising themselves that there will be a rainbow at the end of the tunnel.
