There are homes fit for a king or queen, and then there are homes fit for the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan. The legendary Chicago Bulls player has been trying to sell his mansion in Highland Park, Illinois for a while—12 years to be exact.

However, there have so far been no takers on the property. The 56,000 square-foot home has nine bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, a gym, an NBA-sized basketball court, a putting green, a theater and many other amenities. No the home is not exactly R. Kelly’s “Chocolate Factory” mansion, but it definitely has potential for someone with the right amount of income.

Take a look inside and tell us at the end, would you buy Jordan’s mansion if you could?

The number 23 is so symbolic that everyone should know whose home they are about to right from the gate. But quick question: Should the new homeowner keep the gate design or scrap it?

Jordan’s kids (Marcus, Jeffrey, and Jasmine) had plenty of space to play outside in this massive backyard. But then again, when your father is a multi-millionaire, chances are your outside play looks a little different from the average child.

Although the property is full of flashy and cool amenities, it can be calm, too. As you can see, the pond is surrounded by trees and is also filled with fish, according to the house’s details.

While Jordan didn’t have the biggest family, he was also a guy who was known to be friend’s with a lot of other athletes and celebrities, so he definitely needed an area to host guests and friends.

How many mansions do you know with executive-level conference rooms? An athlete of MJ’s stature and popularity of course needed to make a plethora of business deals, so it only makes sense that he would have this.

There is no doubt that MJ wouldn’t be able to walk into any theater in the Chicago area without being hounded and harassed for autographs. With that in mind, it only makes sense that he needed an at-home theater to have a movie night with capacity for 20 or so people.

If MJ could play golf everyday, he probably would. He famously would go golfing everyday during the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, and it is the sport he is most known for—outside of basketball of course.
