Basketball legend Michael Jordan’s health has become a topic of conversation on social media following his recent appearance at a football game. Last week, the iconic player was spotted in the stands during the UEFA Champions League match between Barcelona and Monaco. But beyond the comments on the photo, many fans expressed concern about the yellowness of the former player’s eyes.
“Come on MJ! You need to stop drinking. This jaundice is really getting to him,” commented one X fan (formerly Twitter). In response to the same post, another fan added: “The human liver is finished.”
The jaundice mentioned by the fan is a condition that manifests itself as a yellowish discoloration of the eyes, something that Jordan has shown for some time. In adults, this jaundice is often associated with liver problems, usually caused by viral hepatitis and alcoholic hepatitis, and may be caused by excessive alcohol consumption. This theory has gained dominance among fans of the Chicago Bulls icon.
“This man has everything: women, money, fame and accomplishments that anyone could want. But he is on the road to an early death. How sad,” said a supporter. “Stop drinking people. You’re poisoning yourself,” added one.
Throughout his career, Jordan has always been associated with a love of alcohol. For example, the legendary player is the owner of Cincoro Tequila. The six-time NBA champion is also a big cigar lover since his days with the Bulls. It should be noted that jaundice is also associated with smokers.
This appearance at the football game is not the first time Jordan’s health has been questioned. During the documentary “The Last Dance”, many fans speculated about the condition of the former player because he also showed yellow eyes. Also, he is often seen at basketball games where he also performs.
The concern ultimately stems from the significance of Jordan’s history in basketball. In his career, he won six NBA titles and five MVP awards with the Bulls. Additionally, the all-time No. 23 is credited with bringing the NBA into the global spotlight. His credits also include his famous Nike sneaker line, which became the most popular in basketball history. For these reasons, the former player is considered by many to be the game’s greatest of all time.
