The Daily Mail has contacted NBC for comment.Following the complaints about Jordan's contributions last season, Tirico leaped to the defense of the NBA legend.'Michael doesn't talk much, as you know. Michael still has so many interests in the game, business interests, with a piece of the [Charlotte] Hornets and obviously his involvement with [Jordan Brand],' he told Sports Illustrated.
