Viral Michael Jordan image sparks major concern

Serious concerns have been raised after images of NBA legend Michael Jordan went viral on social media all thanks to one detail.

Is MJ or LeBron your GOAT?

Michael Jordan has some fans worried he may be enjoying his European vacation a little too much.

The NBA legend took in the UEFA Champions League match between AS Monaco and FC Barcelona at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco along with his wife, Yvette Prieto, though the 61-year-old’s yellow eyes raised concerns, the New York Post reported.

“Is dude high or is his liver shot?” one fan asked in the comments of an Instagram carousel of images from the game that were posted by Bleacher Report.

“Can someone please check that mans liver,” another inquired.

Fans didn’t hold back in the replies on X, either.

“Why the hell MJ out here with JAUNDICE tho? Eyes looking like a Vampire In Brooklyn,” one fan wrote.

Some supporters offered up simple fixes.

“Mike, get some water,” a fan implored, while another suggesting “Bro need some eye drops.”

Jordan has not publicly addressed any questions around his health, which existed well before his Bulls docuseries, “The Last Dance,” streamed into sports fans’ living rooms in 2020.

However, the tint of his eyes during that 10-part series raised similar worries from fans.

Whatever the issue may be — some have suggest alcohol-induced jaundice or other, more serious conditions like cirrhosis or cancer — it has not stopped the Basketball Hall of Famer’s summer tour of Europe with Prieto.

Thus far, stops have included Saint Tropez, Barcelona and Ibiza before Thursday’s soccer match in Monaco, with travel via his mega yacht, the “M’BRACE.”

Jordan and Prieto celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary in April, and share 10-year-old twin daughters, Victoria and Isabel.

The six-time NBA champion did get good news this week, as the sale of his $14.8 million Chicago mansion appeared to move forward more than a decade after it entered the market for $29 million in 2012.
