Yes, that Michael Jordan. #23 for the Chicago Bulls. Six NBA Championships. Air Jordan. Who wouldn't want to live in the same home as the greatest basketball player of all time? Yes, MJ put his own stamp on the home with plenty of Jumpman logos all over the place. Take a look at the home for yourself and tell me you aren't impressed!

So why on earth is this amazing home still on the market? First of all, it is listed at just under $15 million. Yahoo reports that property taxes alone are nearly $140,000. Others say the home is too customized with #23 logos all over, including the main gate! MJ better lower the price if he wants any takers on this vacant Midwest mansion!
