THE Michael Jordan began appearing on NBC, where he would appear weekly to talk about NBA and various aspects of the sport. The Bulls legend and majority all-time leading scorer talked about how much he misses basketball, but also explained what prompted him to take on his new role.
“I have an obligation to the game. The motivation is not financial. I’m fine. For me, the important thing is to be able to transmit messages of success and dedication to the game of basketball. I love it like you wouldn’t believe. Honestly, I wish I could take a magic pill, put on some shorts, and go out and play basketball today, because that’s who I am. This kind of competition is what I live for. And I miss him. I miss that aspect of the game of basketball – being able to challenge myself against what people consider great basketball. But it’s better for me to sit here and talk to you instead of rupturing my Achilles tendon and being in a wheelchair“, emphasized Air.
