Yellow eye color, fear for Michael Jordan's health

Basketball fans, especially in America, are enjoying the Michael Jordan documentary “The Last Dance.” But during interviews with the NBA legend, the prominent yellow color in his eyes is clearly visible instead of white. What is the cause? Is he sick? Jordan, 57, has never spoken publicly about this, so speculation has increased thanks to the documentary.

There are those who believe he suffers from jaundice, a condition that causes the skin and mucous membranes to turn yellow due to increased bilirubin in the blood as a result of certain liver disorders, although the former player is not known to have any health problems. Liver diseases such as hepatitis and cirrhosis also cause that color in the eyes.

Complications and dysfunctions in the pancreas, the presence of kidney stones, taking certain medications, suffering from anemia and other red blood cell diseases, increased stress, or heredity may be other reasons, although in Jordan's case it would seem strange, since he never had this eye color when he was amazing on the court.

Another possibility is that he has liver problems due to poor diet or alcohol consumption. However, Jordan is not only getting attention with the documentary "The Last Dance." His yellow eyes have sparked debate and scared basketball enthusiasts.
