Michael Jordan's enormous house in the Chicago suburbs is still on the market after 10 years.
He's cut the price nearly in half and tried various ways to sweeten the deal - like Air Jordans.
The house was recently back in the news when an 18-year-old and a juvenile were arrested and accused of trespassing and causing damage.

Anyone who approaches from the ground can tell right away that this estate belongs to the legendary No. 23, Michael Jordan - and that might be what's keeping it from selling.

The price on the house has dropped several times and is now going for $14.9 million, or about $265 a square foot - that's a far cry from the original price of $517 a square foot. The exact price is $14,855,000, and the numbers in that price add up to 23 - Jordan's basketball jersey number.

Jordan's luxurious taste even shows itself in details like doorways. The set of doors seen below are from the original Playboy Mansion in Chicago.
