Michael Jordan is coming back to the NBA on NBC.

Jordan is set to serve as a special contributor for NBC Sports when the NBA returns to the broadcast network in October. The announcement was made as part of NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation to advertisers at Radio City Music Hall on Monday. The exact nature of Jordan’s role in NBC’s coverage plans will be revealed at a later date.

“I am so excited to see the NBA back on NBC,” Jordan said in a short video played for those in attendance. “The NBA on NBC was a meaningful part of my career, and I’m excited about being a special contributor to the project. I’m looking forward to seeing you all when the NBA on NBC launches this October.”

“Michael’s legacy both on and off the court speaks for itself,” said NBC Sports President Rick Cordella in a statement. “We’re incredibly proud to have him join our coverage.”

Jordan is widely regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time. He won six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls, is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, and a 14-time NBA All-Star to name just a few of his incredibly long list of accolades.

NBC revealed its fall schedule earlier on Monday, with NBA coverage serving as a major cornerstone for the broadcaster’s upcoming programming. “The NBA is a huge priority for us,” Jeff Bader, NBCUniversal Entertainment’s president, program planning strategy, told reporters over the weekend. “That is our biggest new show in the fall.”
