Michael Jordan's Home Trash Talks as Much as He Does
Real estate videos point out the Highland Park mansion is "the Michael Jordan of homes because this is Michael Jordan's home."
In addition to being perhaps the greatest basketball player of all-time, Michael Jordan can claim he did another thing better on the court than anyone else: trash talk.
And while his basketball ability is obviously not the same now at age 52 as it was when he was winning championships for the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s, his trash talking is pretty much on par.
But instead of bringing the talk on the court, Jordan is doing it on behalf of his Highland Park home, which he has been trying to sell for more than three years.

The home, at 2700 Point Lane, is the Michael Jordan of homes, according to a series of videos released by StartYourLegend23.com, an effort to sell the home originally listed in 2012 for $29 million, but now on the market for less than $15 million after a series of price reductions.
The video “I AM” describes the home as “56,000 square feet of success.”

“This is the Michael Jordan of homes because this is Michael Jordan’s home.”
Photos of the mansion were then shown with a voice-over touting why this is better than any other home in the area.
You call yourself a trophy property, a mansion?
Hehe, You think you’re big, well I’m bigger. You say you’re great at entertainment? Have you seen my pool pavilion? my putting green? my game rooms?
Drink in my wine cellar, or have a cigar in my humidor. How about a movie? (with shots of Jordan’s huge theater)
You might have a basketball hoop, but I have a full-size regulation court designed and played on by the greatest of all-time.
We can be friends, but if you challenge me: I’ve won six championships. I am 2700 Point Lane.
All the other mansions on the North Shore can only compare to Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing or Reggie Mille r- clearly not Jordan. That distinction, according to the video, is for 2700 Point Lane only.
“Only one person will get to say they bought Michael Jordan’s home. Will it be you?”
