On NBC's first NBA telecast since 2002, Michael Jordan recalled feeling unusually nervous when an Airbnb host on Long Island asked him to shoot a free throw before the man's grandkids during last month's Ryder Cup. He told Mike Tirico he hadn't touched a basketball in years—then said the shot went in. The pre-recorded conversation ran in the "MJ: Insights to Excellence" segment, as NBC began airing games under the NBA's new 11-year, $27 billion media rights deal.
