NBA broadcasting industry exploded a "Century Dunk" - NBC Sports officially announced that Michael Jordan will join the 2025-26 season event commentator as a special commentator. While fans were still savoring his final kill in 1998, the "God of Basketball" had already completed the most gorgeous turn of the 21st century on the commentary seat with an iconic smile. In the official statement video, Jordan stroked six championship rings and said, "The NBC camera recorded my flying back then, now it's my turn to interpret the wings of the new era. This most willful superstar in history always creates an incredible twist at his peak: after three consecutive championships in 1993, he suddenly retired to play baseball, and then proved on the baseball field that "Gods also have shortcomings"; in 1995, "I'm back" shocked Wall Street, and the Dow Jones Index rose 2%; in 2001, the 38-year-old returned from the Wizards, and still scored 51 points in a single game to educate the new generation; in 2025, he sat in the commentary seat, and may redefine the basketball commentary dimension.

Open Jordan's honor book, a string of The numbers are enough to suffocate any statistician: 6 championship trophys, 5 regular season MVPs, 10 scoring champions... But what really made him a cultural symbol was the moments that data could not be captured: in the 1986 playoffs against the Celtics, Bird said bluntly that "Tonight is God playing with the 23rd number"; in the 1997 Finals, the Flu battle, scored 38 points under the 38-degree high fever, and the picture of slumping in Pippen's arms after the game defines "Toughness"; the legendary script that retired and made "The Last Dance" the most luxurious rhetoric in professional sports.

23 years ago, Jordan said in the Wizards locker room: "Never say forever (Never Say never) ". Now he returns with a more complex identity than his athletes: the 6-Crown champion, the business tycoon, the team owner, and now adds the narrator label. Perhaps as he said in his Hall of Fame speech: "The limit is like a horizon, you move forward an inch, and it backs a foot." "When the new NBA season war rekindled in October, basketball fans around the world will lower their volume and wait for the hoarse voice to ring. At that moment, what we hear is not only the game analysis, but also the echo of an era - about the eternity of the competitive spirit and how the legend can continue to write a new chapter.
