Mike Tirico on Michael Jordan's limited TV role: He is above the day-to-day conversation

During Front Office Sports’s “Tuned In” summit in New York on Tuesday, Tirico explained that Jordan ultimately didn’t want to deal with the day-to-day of a broadcaster at this point in his life. “I think Michael Jordan hadn’t been on TV for a long time for a reason,” Tirico said. “He likes being Michael Jordan. There’s an aura, even still, when he’s on camera, there’s an aura about Michael Jordan that is just different. “Sitting across from him, it’s just a different feel. And I think he is above the day-to-day conversation of ‘Hey, who’s the best point guard in the NBA right now? And who’s best this or the best that?’ “So I think in a controlled setting, talking about topics that he’s still passionate about with the sport, he loved it.”New York PostThis article originally appeared on Hoops Hype: Mike Tirico on Michael Jordan's limited TV role: He is above the day-to-day conversation
