But young me thought this house was huge.
… and I took that personally.
is this not a large and expensive house? oh no. I’ve been in California too long.
I knew a guy whose dad lived next door to Michael Jordan when he lived in Birmingham (where his house in the movie would have been). It definitely was bigger than this house.
Everybody knows he actually was living rent free in the head of Jerry Krause at that time
In my city that’s a $3 million house
Not really it’s a $3 million house. Six bed and three bath. Plus it’s in California.
Isn’t that the house that Happy Gilmore knocks a family out of early in his golf career – “beginners luck” “she shouldn’t have been standing there”
In retrospect, yeah. That house is a bit too modest for someone making that much money *and* it does not have the kinda security someone that famous would want. 8-12 feet from the street to the door, no fence, not even a screen door? No way would he feel safe in those conditions
Even still, I think it is a nice house
That’s a nice fuckin house
Thas sum got dam Bheethoven Home Alone sheeeiiii
Doesn’t David Wallace live there??
Right? That’s where Kevin McAllister lived.
Nowadays that house is probably worth 3x more than it was when space jam was filmed.
Makes sense to me. They would need a prequel film that was a documentary of someone trying to navigate his real house just to get the scale right for Space Jam.
Could call it Space, Damn!
I am guessing that in 2022 America, there might be people who don’t even know who Michael Jordan is anymore. He was a giant in his time, but he retired, and that retirement decision wasn’t exactly yesterday.
According to what I’ve been able to find MJ had lived in this [home](https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2022-Windy-Hill-Ln-Highland-Park-IL-60035/4915728_zpid/) until 1996. In that same year though Jordan sold this house and moved to a 30,000 sq ft mansion about 5 miles from there.
People saying “I thought this house was huge”
This house IS huge, what are you on about!?
It’s bigger than every place I’ve ever lived in if they were all placed next to each other!
God fucking damnit why did rkelly have to be a pedo and weirdo. What a song that was.
Renting it out on AirBNB maybe
It shows how insanely wealthy the rich have become compared to the rest of us.
That’s a 3 million dollar house today, FYI. It sold in 1991 for 590K.
I think this would be a reasonable house for a player like Jordan. If I were a top tier NBA player, I wouldn’t buy a mansion with $100,000 in annual maintenance costs and another $100k in annual property taxes – that’s just poor planning. Especially when I’d want to have reasonably-sized houses in multiple places and provide for people I care about.
I hate that we live in a time where I read this and think, “is that because he was so rich and this is a basic house or did he live in a high cost major metro and clearly couldn’t afford this?” Could go either way, honestly.
Michael Jordan lived there? Michael Myers maybe..
I’ve been to Michael Jordan’s old house. One time for Halloween he had an entire McDonald’s setup in his house and he gave out Big Macs and fries to trick or treaters
BLM organizers would call this house a shack. Only the best mansions for them.
This looks like the live action Garfield house
Yeah I’ve seen the pitch meeting too
Actually starting to feel more realistic everyday
MJ wouldn’t be caught dead in that dump!
Why does the front door and panels look so out of place?
After losing all that money last year shorting a certain stock he probably couldn’t afford that house in this market now a days

His real house was like 10 minutes from where I grew up, constantly played hoggard high in high school and whooped dat butt.
That house has big “Father of the Bride” energy.
I never even questioned it. 🤷🏿♂️
I thought the same. Also, that the neighborhood kids just go up and talk to him outside of the house like it’s nothing.
I used to live near his Chicagoland house. Me and my friends would bike over there and just sit across the street waiting to see something when we were kids. He had this huge long driveway with big iron gates that said 23.
