Michael Jordan, in good health, dispels jaundice rumours
Michael Jordan is in good shape, and the rumours about his alleged health problems are baseless. This information was conveyed by the newspaper "Daily Mail".
In recent days, fans have been concerned about a photo of Jordan taken during a Champions League match in Monaco. The photo shows the 61-year-old athlete with yellowish-tinted eyes, which led some to speculate about jaundice caused by excessive alcohol consumption or increased melanin pigment.
A "Daily Mail" source assured, however, that Jordan does not suffer from any illness.
Mike is OK. He goes to the doctor, he is just getting older and the recent pics are in no way or should be a reason for concern. There is nothing wrong with him. Like everyone, we should get a little more exercise and Mike enjoys the life he has made for himself, but there isn't any hidden illness that he is dealing with - we read.
Jordan, considered by many to be the greatest basketball player of all time, has been in sports retirement for two decades following his iconic career. However, the photos from Monaco are not the first to raise similar concerns.
Fans also noticed Jordan's yellowish eyes in the popular documentary series "The Last Dance", which chronicles the legendary Chicago Bulls era under his leadership.
Michael Jordan isn't always out there and on our TV screens, so we haven't seen him age. Most of the time people see him is when his highlights are shown, or we see his crying face that has become one of the biggest memes of all time. So when we see him like we have just seen him, it is very jarring because we have to reason to ourselves that our hero is getting older, which means we are getting older. Everyone sees Charles Barkley and Shaq all the time, and they have both considerably aged, but since we see them all the time, it is easier to reason the changes that have happened to them - adds the source.
Michael Jordan remains a sports icon and enjoys life, despite the health speculations.
