NBA legend Michael Jordan debuted behind the booth to call the OKC Thunder vs the Houston Rockets NBA Season 2025-26 opener on Tuesday. Fans, inevitably, took notice of his eyes, which have a yellow/ red tint owing to a natural condition.

As the 62-year-old returned to the fold of the NBA on tip-off night on NBC, fans again took notice of the color of his eyes. So, why do they appear red or yellow? Jordan has never given a conclusive answer to why his eyes are red or yellow.

Some rumors suggest that it could be because of a condition, such as Complexion-Associated Melanosis. But it's not confirmed. What is known is that his condition is natural, with no disease or illness involved; he has always had bloodshot eyes.

Similar concerns were sparked when Michael Jordan made an appearance at a Champions League game in September 2024 without his usual sunglasses on. At that time, SportsBible reported citing a supposed doctor's post on Reddit that Jordan's eyes are "anicteric"- or they do not have jaundice.

As he called the OKC Thunder vs the Houston Rockets game on Tuesday night, similar concerns of whether he has jaundice or alcohol-induced jaundice, resurfaced.

“I can see the alcoholism all in Michael Jordan's eyes gah damn,” wrote one user.

Jonathan Snowden @JESnowden · 1h I think there is one question we all want Michael Jordan to answer: “Are you okay? Your eyes are super red and watery. Have you thought about Claritin?”

“michael jordan eyes look like a fish on ice at the fish market,” wrote one.

“Michael Jordan's eyes are the same color as the original wendy's boxes,” wrote another.

Jordan signed an 11-year agreement with the NBA starting with the 2025-26 season.
