Jordan's post-retirement life has included a diminishing amount of basketball as he places an emphasis on spending time with family. In fact, he said he has not "picked up a ball in years." The last time the Chicago Bulls legend took a shot was, in true Jordan fashion, at a golf tournament.

Michael Jordan was 40 years old when he played his final game of pro basketball and has seldom even been seen holding a basketball in the 22 years since his career ended. So when WAS the last time The Airman held or even shot a basketball?

Jordan said that the last time he shot a ball was at a house he rented for last month's Ryder Cup. He revealed that the owner of the home asked him to shoot one free throw during a meet and greet, which included the owner's grandkids.

Though NBC isn’t discussing Jordan’s role publicly, seemingly everyone else in sports media is. When the greatest basketball player of all time speaks, people listen – and watch, in this case.

ESPN is airing a segment called “Coaches Corner” in which color commentator Tim Legler breaks down film with head coaches. New NBC studio analyst Vince Carter has expressed his desire to use the platform to educate fans. Prime introduced a high-tech LED court in its studio, giving experts a visual way to present analysis.

Allan Houston explains why Michael Jordan’s fundamentals and cerebral approach increased the impact of his undeniable skills and athleticism.

Michael Jordan made his debut Tuesday night as a special contributor to NBC’s NBA broadcasts, speaking with the network’s Mike Tirico in a one-on-one interview. During that 3-minute, 20-second segment, Jordan discussed how he now has more time to spend with family and said he hasn’t “picked up a ball in years.”
