Michael Jordan Highland Park, IL Mansion Listed for $21 Million

  

According to the Tribune, Jordan’s sprawling estate is listed as the highest priced home in Chicago and boasts features such as nine bedrooms, 15 full baths, three-bedroom guesthouse, indoor-outdoor entertaining and pool area, tennis court, putting green and a 15-car garage. For basketball lovers, Jordan’s Highland Park mansion also includes an indoor basketball complex featuring a full-size regulation court with specially cushioned hardwood flooring and competition-quality high intensity lighting. The front gates of the estate are also emblazoned with a telltale “23,” the jersey number MJ wore when he was part of the Chicago Bulls. The IBTimes writes that the house was built during Jordan’s first hiatus from the hardwood, between 1993 and 1995, and that the “true” king of the court used to live there with his wife and three children, until his divorce in 2006. According to public records, the property taxes on the home were $165,224 in 2010. MadOne. More Pictures below

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    

 

LeBron James Responds To Michael Jordan Saying "Give Me Kobe Over LeBron"

Could Michael Jordan play at 50? His trainer is ready if he does

 
As Tim Grover walked out of the Hall of Fame induction speech four years ago, the observances of Michael Jordan's old slights, the settling of old scores, had already come and gone in the trainer's mind. All those years with Jordan, and Grover understood to always be lurching toward tomorrow with the game's greatest player.

"I heard that speech differently than everybody else," Grover said. Grover heard Jordan raising the idea of playing in the NBA in his 50s, and that was all the nod he needed to begin preparations.
"If I ever get that call," Grover said, "I was going to be prepared for it. And I am." 

Fifty pages inside a binder sit on Grover's desk inside his suburban Chicago home now, information and studies and research and innovations into regenerating the muscle fibers and anti-aging advances and nutrition. From his trips to Europe and Asia and the Far East, Grover has incorporated a small library of intelligence – backed with the most intimate knowledge of Jordan's body and mind and drive – to create a program that awaits the comeback of all comebacks at 50 years old. 

Deep down, Grover isn't so sure that call will ever come, because the complications of owning the Bobcats could ultimately make a return too intrusive into Jordan's business life now. All these years later, Grover still makes sure he incorporates every morsel of cutting-edge information and technology into the binder, because if Jordan ever reaches out for the comeback of all comebacks, he needs to know one truth will have never changed with the passing of the years. "I'll be ready for him," Grover says. Yahoo Sports

The anticipation for the Air Jordan XX8 has reached a fever pitch as the release date approaches. The all-new sneaker returns to its Roman numeral roots, but all other aspects are completely different. The black mesh shroud covers eye popping electric green coloring on the inner boot that is revealed when unzipped. The translucent, Zoom Air infused sole draws further attention to the shoe, while providing unparalleled cushioning for optimum performance. madone

After the UNC Tarheels played in the “Blue Camo” colorway last night, we see official images of the Air Jordan XX8 “Green Camo”.  The divisive shroud is covered in green hues, while the shank plate and midsole remain black. The white outsole is different from the translucent sole on the “Blue Camo,” but the inner portion keeps the electric green coloring similar to other colorways we have seen. The “Green Camo” XX8 will release on Saturday, February 16.
