Now I’m even more pumped—another basketball legend is joining the NBA coverage too!

This fall, NBA is coming back to NBC as part of the 2025 TV schedule.

The network is getting everything ready for the big return.

They’re building a strong team of broadcasters for the games.

So far, I’ve liked everyone they’ve picked.

But I was really surprised — and excited — to hear that Michael Jordan is joining as a special contributor.

And now, I’m even more hyped because another legendary player has been hired as an analyst too.

Exciting times for NBA fans!

you grew up in the 2000s like me, you probably remember watching Tracy McGrady tear it up on the court.

He was one of the best shooting guards back then.

Since retiring in 2013, T-Mac has built a solid career as a broadcaster.

Now, he’s bringing his skills to NBC.

The network just announced that Tracy McGrady will be a studio analyst for their NBA coverage.

He shared a message through a press release, saying how thankful and excited he is for this new role.
