NBA legend Allen Iverson appeared on Tuesday's episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to discuss the league's return to NBC, and he took some time to pay homage to Michael Jordan, who is now a guest analyst for the network's basketball coverage.

His Airness is part of a series called "MJ: Insights to Excellence" with Mike Tirico sitting down with the six-time NBA champ. A portion of the first episode ran during the season opener and it already produced a viral moment. One that has a golf connection. Sort of.

One of the most highly anticipated features of NBC's opening night was a teased halftime interview between Mike Tirico and Michael Jordan, which was pre-recorded. The former Bulls star hasn't been very involved in media in the decades since his retirement, so his decision to work with NBC was notable.

More than two decades after it last aired an NBA game, NBC is betting on Peacock and Michael Jordan as launches year one of its 11-year deal for the sport.

Michael Jordan admits in an NBC interview he still loves basketball and does wish he could be out there on the court playing at his peak.
