Why Michael Jordan’s Eyes Are Yellow
Michael Jordan is widely considered the greatest NBA player of all time. However, his NBC debut at the end of last year sparked concerns among fans over his health.
Jordan is a six-time NBA champion, a six-time Finals MVP, and a five-time MVP, to name just a few of his accolades, so he certainly has the accomplishments to back up the ‘greatest of all time’ claim. With that in mind, there was plenty of interest from NBA fans when he made his debut on NBC’s NBA broadcast.
The 10-time scoring champion spoke with Mike Tirico in a one-on-one interview. However, many fans couldn’t help but notice the colour of his eyes during the interview.
Michael Jordan’s Eyes
Jordan’s health has been a hot topic ever since ‘The Last Dance’ documentary in 2020, which was released on Netflix, when fans first took notice of his yellow eyes. It raised questions about how he is doing in his personal life, with many saying it is a sign of a liver issue or other illness.
Since his appearance on TV at the end of 2025, a 2020 tweet from Dr. Glaucomflecken has resurfaced, where he gave a detailed explanation as to why Jordan’s eyes are so yellow.
Dr. Glaucomflecken, also known as William E. Flanary, is an American comedian, podcaster, and ophthalmologist; a doctor who specialises in eye and vision care.
Doctor Gives Explanation Behind MJ’s Eye Colour
He wrote: “Like a thousand people have asked me about Jordan’s eyes. He is not jaundiced. He has racial melanosis of the conjunctiva. Benign, flat patches of pigment around the edge of the cornea. This is extremely common in darkly pigmented individuals, and more prominent with age.”
Several medical professionals have also been interviewed by outlets like Sports Illustrated and VICE, and have explained that the discolouration of his eyes could come from several causes. Some say it could be pinguecula, which is a build-up of fat or calcium on the surface of the eye, but most point to Dr. Glaucomfleken’s melanosis diagnosis.
Jordan has never spoken publicly about his eyes, or any health concerns.

Every Premier League Club’s Total Prize Money and Earnings in 2025-26
It’s been revealed how much prize money every club competing in the 2025-26 Premier League season has earned.
While all 20 clubs receive a certain amount of money depending on where they finish in the Premier League table, that doesn’t paint the whole picture in terms of their total earnings.
Arsenal won the title for the first time in 22 years, eventually finishing seven points clear of second-placed Manchester City.
Manchester United, Aston Villa and Liverpool sealed the three remaining Champions League spots, while Bournemouth and Sunderland secured a place in next season’s Europa League. Brighton clinched a spot in the Europa Conference League qualifiers, while Chelsea missed out on Europe altogether.
And at the opposite end of the table, Tottenham narrowly avoided relegation at the expense of West Ham, who join Burnley and Wolves in the Championship.
The Athletic have calculated how much prize money every Premier League team earned this season based on information provided by various club sources across the division.
Every club received an equal share of £31.9 million (UK) and £56.6 million (international) for competing in the Premier League. However, the clubs then received different amounts based on facility fees and merit payments.
Lowest Earners (20th-11th)
It won’t come as a huge surprise to learn that Wolves were the lowest earners this season, closely followed by Burnley. However, the two relegated sides both pocketed a cool £117.7 million and £118.1 million, respectively.
West Ham’s total tally was £128.6 million, despite failing to beat the drop, while Tottenham banked £135.8 million.
Other clubs in the bottom half of the prize money table are Newcastle (£154.2 million), Everton (£147.7 million) and Leeds United (£144.5 million).

Manchester City (£192.5 million) and Manchester United (£191.5 million) were only separated by £1 million, while Aston Villa needed £182.6 million.
Liverpool were the red-hot Premier League favourites back in August but could only manage a fifth-place finish under Arne Slot. The Reds still earned £181.8 million in total, though.
Sunderland exceeded all expectations and took home a huge £168.2 million, while Chelsea still got £162.6 million despite a hugely underwhelming campaign.

Surprise English Club Clear Favourites to Sign Jamie Vardy With Wrexham Also in Frame
A surprise English club has emerged as the clear favourites to sign Jamie Vardy, who is leaving Cremonese when his contract expires this summer.
The former England striker made the emotional decision to leave Leicester City last summer and make the move to the Serie A outfit.
Cremonese were hoping that Vardy would score enough goals for them to retain their status in Italy’s top tier. La Cremo enjoyed a great start to the campaign as they tasted defeat in just four of their opening 14 matches.
A horror run of form saw them slip into the relegation zone, though. Despite winning two of their final three matches, the club finished 18th and dropped back down to Serie B.
Vardy, who recorded seven goals and three assists in 29 matches this season and became the first English player to win the Serie A Player of the Month award, has made the decision to leave the club following their relegation and will become a free agent.
Clear Favourites Emerge in Race to Sign Jamie Vardy
BBC Sport have reported that Vardy, now 39 years old, is still enjoying his football and believes he can continue playing at a high level.
BettingLounge have now revealed the 12 favourites to sign Vardy this summer, with a return to the United Kingdom on the cards.
Hull City, who secured their promotion to the Premier League with a dramatic 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough in the Championship playoff final, have been given odds of 28/1.
Hearts are on the lookout for a new striker after losing Laurence Shankland to Rangers and could turn to Vardy as his replacement.
West Ham United, who will play in England’s second tier next season after suffering relegation from the Premier League, have been given odds of 10/1.
Wrexham are fifth favourites to sign Vardy, while Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers are fourth and third respectively.
The bookies think he could make a sensational return to Leicester, who he played for between 2012-2025, scoring 200 goals in 500 appearances in the process.
Sheffield Wednesday, the club who Vardy supported as a child and still does today, are the clear favourites. Vardy played for the Owls in his youth before being released at 15 years old. They are currently leading the race for his signature, but whether they can get a deal done remains to be seen.

Vardy and his wife, Rebekah, have a large family with six children in total. They have had three children together, as well as one daughter from Jamie’s previous relationship and two children from Rebekah’s previous relationships.
Speaking to SPORTbible earlier this month, Vardy said he wants to keep playing for as long as he can, and then intends to spend time with his kids after retiring. He said:
“While my legs are still saying they’re fine, I’ll carry on. But there will come a time when the legs say ‘this ain’t happening anymore’ and that’s when I definitely need to call it quits.”
He added: “The main thing for me is, you sacrifice so much during a football career on things you miss out. And I think when it comes to, I’m finished with football side of things, I want to make sure that I can spend some quality time with my wife and kids.
“It’s something that I’ve missed – big chunks of them growing up at different ages and things like that. So I don’t want to be missing anymore. The kids, they love coming to watch me play football, and it’s a real enjoyment for them.”

Lewis Family Release Tottenham Statement After Avoid Relegation
The Tottenham Hotspur owners have released a short statement in response to the disappointing 2025/26 season that ultimately ended on a positive note with the club avoiding relegation to the Championship on the final day of the campaign.
A disastrous Premier League season, in which Spurs had three different head coaches, ended with a minuscule amount of positivity with the win over Everton ensuring the Lilywhites were not relegated from the top flight for the first time in nearly 50 years.
The Lewis Family, who own and run the club, have come in for plenty of criticism throughout not only this season, but previous seasons, with protests after the final whistle against Everton aimed at the ownership.
Lewis Family send clear message of intent
But in a message to the supporters, the Lewis Family have pledged their allegiance to the cause, stating they have no intention of selling the club.
The statement read: “To the fans. As owners of 25 years, we have lived the highs and lows of Spurs with you.
“Finishing 17th this and last season does not reflect the stature or potential of this football club. We are bitterly disappointed and share your frustration. You, and we, expect more than this. We know this must never happen again.
“Our approach to running the club is, and has been, to trust the experts to do that, while backing them to be successful. The problems we found were deeper than we realised and were allowed to build over the last few years. We know that has eroded trust and we have to win that back. As owners, we take ultimate responsibility for the situation in which the club finds itself.
“We also take responsibility for rebuilding Spurs. Our ambition is to recapture the spirit of the club and bring back the excitement, the fearlessness and the bold football we have always felt defined us. That means football comes first. The Board and Executive team have laid out their plans to meet this ambition.”
Lewis Family are planning for the future
The move was made, with seven games of the season to go, to sack interim head coach Igor Tudor and bring in Roberto De Zerbi on a permanent deal in the hope the Italian could save the club from relegation.
He duly did that, but he will now require the full backing of the baord to ensure such a season never happens again and that he can push Spurs up the Premier League table where they belong next season and beyond.
And the Lewises say they are committed to doing just that.
The statement continued: “This will require investment – in our teams, the academy, our backroom functions and more – and we are fully committed to this. We are not selling the club. We are all in. We are investing in it. You will see more of this in the coming months.
“We care deeply about Spurs. The rebuild the club needs, and you deserve, has begun. The change required is deep. It will take time and commitment, but change is happening.
“We know that actions will speak louder than words.”
