Fans were all talking about one thing after the latest photo of Michael Jordan surfaced online this week.
The former Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards superstar took in some UEFA Champions League football on Thursday as he watched French outfit Monaco defeat Spanish giants Barcelona 2-1 at the former’s Louis II Stadium in France.
Bleacher Report posted a photo of the six-time NBA champion at the game and may have zoomed in a bit too much as his eyes were all folks could talk about.

MJ’s eyes have been a topic of discussion for some time as viewers noticed they were a bit discolored during ‘The Last Dance’ in 2020. But it does appear that they’re getting worse.
“Does he have jaundice?” someone asked.
“bro probably sees everywhere as mexico 😭,” someone else said.
“Is this from all the cigars or?” asked a third.
“Check on that liver, Mike…” someone advised.
“Are we surprised? Bro drinks like a fish,” a user commented.
“Mans got wood grain eyeballs. Tell him put that damn liquor down,” another said.
“stop drinking people. you’re poisoning yourselves,” a fan advised.
“As someone who grew up in a family full of alcoholism and drug abuse, and someone who idolized this man, I know what those eyes mean,” another comment read. “This makes me sad, man.”
Michael Jordan Has Never Publicly Discussed His Eyes
Michael Jordan has never disclosed the reason for his discolored eyes.
The most common condition is jaundice, which results from a malfunctioning liver that is unable to rid the body of a yellow substance called bilirubin, causing it to show up in the eyes and skin.
Excessive drinking is thought to be the main cause, but some medications can also lead to jaundice.
