Jordan will serve as the commentator! Xu Jingyu: For the sake of money, he can say that James is not as good as Kemba Walker

NBA legendary superstar Michael Jordan ushers in a new professional role and will serve as a commentary for the NBC sports platform, making its commentary team stand out.

Jordan's achievements in basketball are legendary. He led the Bulls to win two consecutive championships, five regular season MVP, six finals MVP, and ten scoring champions. He was selected as an NBA All-Star 14 times and won the All-Star MVP three times, helping the US team win the Olympic gold medal twice. Jordan not only performed well on the field, but also promoted the NBA from North American leagues to the world, and its peak period was enough to affect one percent of the US GDP.

To invite Jordan out, NBC has invested a lot of money and gave a sky-high contract. However, Jordan's role in NBC is different from a regular full-time commentator, who mainly appears in recorded clips to provide audiences with technical and tactical analysis of pre-match and midfield time periods.

Jordan himself said in an interview that NBC Sports is of great significance in his career and looks forward to meeting the audience on the show and sharing the charm of basketball. After retiring, Jordan acted quite low-key, rarely appeared in public, and did not use social media. This time he came out as a commentator, which was the first time since he retired that he had appeared in the public eye frequently and for a long time.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted attention from all walks of life. Basketball commentator Xu Jingyu also expressed his opinion. He believed that Jordan's role as a commentator might cause his identity as the King of Football. In Xu Jingyu's view, if a character with such a respectable and almost mythological status appears frequently and makes inappropriate remarks, it will destroy the original tall image in the public's hearts.

Xu Jingyu also speculated that Jordan's move may be due to economic demand. He mentioned that Jordan had gambling experience when he was young and felt that Jordan might not be able to afford it. Moreover, Xu Jingyu teased Jordan's personality and felt that he would not work too hard, and he only worked twice a week. Considering that the NBA has an offseason and other sports events, Jordan works 10 months a year, works 8 days a month, and earns 40 million in 80 days, and the appearance fee is very considerable.

In addition, Xu Jingyu specifically pointed out that some of Jordan's comments in the past are often unexpected. He felt that in order to keep this high reward, Jordan was very likely to make some exaggerated remarks, such as saying that James was not as good as Kemba Walker. He believes that Jordan, driven by interests, may break through the bottom line and give an unreasonable basketball evaluation.

In my opinion, Xu Jingyu said this, in terms of internal reasons, although Jordan has strong playing skills, it is completely different from commentary and playing. Some of Jordan's past statements are indeed unreliable, and Xu Jingyu is worried that he will be unrestrained when explaining. After all, you need to have professional knowledge in the explanation and you must be able to analyze it, not just rely on fame. If Jordan says something that makes people confused during his commentary, it would be a joke.

From external factors, this annual salary of 40 million is too attractive. Xu Jingyu guessed that Jordan was really short of money and took on this job. In the face of interests, people may change. In order to maintain this high salary, Jordan might really listen to NBC's arrangements and say something eye-catching. Moreover, the sports commentary industry is fiercely competitive, and if you want to attract audiences, you have to have topics.

Xu Jingyu felt that Jordan might be "forced" to create topics, and then she said such outrageous remarks as James was not as good as Kemba Walker. After all, it was the money and industry environment that made Xu Jingyu have such speculation.
