Something seemed off when Michael Jordan appeared on NBC’s NBA coverage Tuesday night. The basketball legend looked great in his suit and trademark smile, but fans noticed his eyes.

The 62-year-old, who recently joined NBC Sports as a special contributor, appeared in the second episode of his new segment “MJ: Insights to Excellence” with Mike Tirico. But instead of focusing on his interview, fans on social media began worrying about his health after looking at his eyes, which were unusually yellow.

Fans who tuned in between the network’s doubleheader started firing off posts within minutes. Many feared the six-time NBA champion might be battling jaundice or another illness, while others wondered if his lifestyle had caught up to him. It wasn’t the kind of attention the most famous man in basketball expected, actually, after getting back to TV again.

Fans Flood Social Media For Jordan

Twitter or X just exploded after the episode aired, with every fan giving their own theories.

“I need to know why Michael Jordan eyes so yellow,” one fan posted.

Another wrote, “Jordan eyes red as hell. Send him to the Mayo Clinic.”

While one user joked, “MJ got no white left in his eyes, man, they just red and yellow.”

This isn’t the first time fans have worried about Michael Jordan’s health. Last year, photos of him at a soccer game in Monaco went viral for the same reason, his eyes looked yellow. At the time, sources told DailyMail.com that Jordan was completely fine and just “getting older.” One insider said, “Mike is OK. He goes to the doctor. There’s nothing wrong with him.”

Even so, his new NBC appearance has brought those concerns back. Reports say Jordan felt “embarrassed” by last year’s viral reaction and doesn’t want people to think he’s “sick or weak.” The source added that he plans to “bounce back” in future appearances.

This isn’t the first time Jordan’s off-court life has caught attention, either. During The Last Dance, fans also noticed the yellow tint in his eyes, while Jordan opened up about fame, pressure, and his fear of “losing everything.”

Lately, he’s been busy sharing his honest thoughts on today’s NBA players. But right now, fans are just hoping the GOAT is healthy and doing well behind that legendary smile.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
