    Not surprising that his liver is completely destroyed if that’s actually what’s going on. Guy probably drinks more Whiskey than Water

  2. ToronoRapture

    I’m sure the billionaire has a team of doctors who monitor him closely.

  3. ThingsAreAfoot

    Did these guys not watch The Last Dance?

    Man’s been eating so much whiskey for so long he’s got them yellow eyes.

    it’s already been posted about in this sub

    “Physician here. His eyes are “anicteric” (meaning, not jaundiced). His eyes are what we call as having a “dirty” or “muddy” sclera. It may appear yellow to the untrained eye, but in an outright jaundiced eye, the distribution of the yellowish color is very homogenous. In Michael’s eyes in the Last Dance, not only did I not see much yellow, but there were significant “splotches” and areas that remained white. So there – no big deal. A “muddy” sclera is a normal variation that’s commonly associated with aging”

    This is the whitest I’ve seen his eyeballs be in years. 

  6. The internet tells me that this can happen when someone is pregnant. Does MJ have some news for us?

  7. Hard to tell if those eyes are jaundice. They look more blood shot to me which may mean he’s just acutely drunk/tipsy.

    Saw Shaq in person—he’s got similar eyes 

  9. mollusks75

    His eyes have looked like that for years now.

    I’m sure the billionaire former professional athlete is fine. Like, if there are two groups I’d be sure to live a long time, it’d be “billionaires” and “former athletes,” and he’s both.

    I mean his eyes were already kind of like this in the Last dance, all I’m going to say is the guy enjoys a drink every now and then and it’s open about smoking multiple cigars a day so it’s not as if he lives the healthiest lifestyle, but I hope he’s okay

    I was under the impression he had that condition due to pigmentation of melanin in the eyes and it was not anything crazy like the Reddit docs say

  13. Yellow eye doesn’t necessarily mean anything. I found out I have a genetic condition that turn my eyes yellow every time I go on a fast. Nothing harmful.

    Isn’t the independent in the same vein as the daily mirror or something like that? Both trash gossipy mags. Jordan has always had that yellowish tinge to it since forever.

  15. guyfromthepicture

    They used to talk about his bloodshot and discolored eyes on the 90s in reference to his elite skill being akin to playing against a demon.

    A lot of older Black men have yellowish eyes like that. Some older people in my family do. Hopefully doesn’t happen to me but there’s a term for and has nothing to do with jaundice

  17. Herbdontana

    Glad it seems to be blown out of proportion. Don’t scare us like that!

  18. HamiltonBlack

    This is common in black people. Does anyone meet other people?

  19. TrueEclecticism

    I’m a doctor who regularly sees jaundice (GI/Liver). I also thought his eyes looked yellow, but then I remembered he had that coloring of his eyes for a while. Most people with actual jaundice don’t live that long…. sometimes, black people have more pigment in the sclera (“white” part of the eye).

  20. ArmandioFaria

    Didn’t people have the same concern after watching The Last Dance?

  21. twoten-letmein

    Every so often Mike makes an appearance somewhere and this is the headline of the article.

  22. discokilledfunk

    That’s normal, that’s Mike’s gambling whites

  23. RealWilsonFisk

    MJ can afford the best medical care in the world. Why are people concerned? I’m sure if he has a medical condition it’s being well taken care of.
