Network insider Kay Adams has revealed the show to be a deep dive into the brain of the six-time champion. Jordan is labeled as a "special contributor" for NBC as they start a new 11-year partnership with the league.

Having the Bulls legend is a major win for NBC compared to other networks that have also bagged broadcasting rights for the league. The fans are sure to tune in to watch Jordan during the halftime show, even if they are not interested in the basketball game on broadcast that day.

The fans can expect the MJ's show to follow a similar format as the new version of Sunday Night Basketball, which features a documentary style with capsules of videos from Jordan's career highlights embedded in between.
