Michael Jordan's Impact on the NBA: Aries Spears' Disappointment with NBC's Coverage

Michael Jordan's return is set to be a significant attraction for the NBA during the 2025–2026 season. The six-time champion is poised to make his long-awaited comeback to the league as a special analyst with the NBC team. Many fans are eagerly anticipating MJ's reemergence, except for Aries Spears. In a recent conversation on VladTV, the acclaimed comedian expressed his admiration for Jordan but questioned the excitement surrounding the basketball legend's new role. Spears humorously remarked, “I'm a Michael Jordan fanatic. However, I fail to grasp why his return to NBC is such a sensation. He's not competing. If he isn't suiting up, who cares?” While Spears raises an interesting point, the nostalgia associated with witnessing Michael Jordan alone is likely to captivate audiences. Although Spears supports a return to play for the 62-year-old Jordan, he conceded that merely being an analyst isn't enough. He stated affirmatively, “I’d cheer him on; he could still score at least 15 points.”
