Look Inside Michael Jordan's Chicago Estate

Michael Jordan has called his Chicago estate home for nearly 20 years — including at the height of his career with the Chicago Bulls — but unloading it has been no slam dunk.

The longtime king of the court now wants US$14.855 million for the 7-plus acreage near Lake Michigan in the ritzy suburb of Highland Park.

The three-story, 56,000-square-foot home is built for a champion, with nine bedrooms, 17 bathrooms and — naturally — a full-sized basketball court including locker rooms, showers and a lounge with a glass observation area.

A guest wing sits alongside a sky-lit entertaining pavilion, and other luxury amenities include a circular infinity pool plus a putting green, tennis court and cigar room.

"My kids are grown now, and I don't need a large house in Chicago," Jordan told The Wall Street Journal. "It was time for some warmer weather down at my new home in Florida."

Jordan also owns homes in North Carolina and Utah.
