Via Brobible:
While Jordan himself has never addressed the yellow hue of his sclera, fans have long speculated that the yellow-ish tint of his eyes is due to a liver issue likely caused by his alcohol consumption. Again, this is merely speculation.
Additionally, a condition called a jaundice infection — which happens when the oxygen-carrying components in a one’s blood break down and become a substance known as bilirubin — has been known to make the eyes look yellow. There’s also the possibility that Jordan’s peculiarly ocular shade is simply a result of genes.
Jordan has long been known to be quite the drinker, so of all the likely possibilities, something related to his liver seems most likely. Again, that’s merely all speculation. Considering Jordan is still a relatively young man at just 57-years-old, let’s hope whatever’s causing the yellow-eyed stare is nothing too serious.
So either his liver is not the GOAT, or it’s something genetic.
We know he’s a drinker now, but he really wasn’t while he was playing.
