Michael Jordan’s stubborn nature is world renowned. And that side of Jordan’s personality extends well beyond the court too. The occasions range from reluctance to share the ball at times, to always insisting to be the last one to take the shot, to not wishing to sell his house.

Yes, Jordan refuses to part with his Chicago mansion until the buyer agrees to meet the many clauses attached. That includes MJ’s insistence that the new owner cannot sell furniture in the house. Even if it is an oddball piece.
Jordan’s house in Chicago comes with a “Baghdad table” and you cannot sell
In the center of the dining room of his Chicago home, there is a uniquely designed table. With a lattice structure that resembles the outline of a city, the “Baghdad Table” is a rare piece (only 10 such exist in the world).
The grid-like structure is a map of Baghdad City and the table costs nearly $40,000. There is a reason why Jordan likes it. However, there is no particular reason as to why he won’t allow the new owner to sell the table.
Jordan has a sprawling house in Chicago, which has been unsold for years
Jordan’s house in Chicago is a luxurious and iconic property that was custom-built for the basketball legend during his prime playing years with the Bulls. It has been kept in pristine condition for the last decade.
Situated in the affluent Chicago suburb of Highland Park, the mansion spans over 56,000 square feet and sits on a sprawling 7.3-acre plot. The home comes with nine bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, a full-size basketball court, a putting green, a cigar room, and a state-of-the-art home theater.
Jordan’s Chicago home remains a symbol of his incredible success and enduring legacy in the world of sports and entertainment. However, since the NBA icon does not reside there anymore, it has been on sale for several years.
But due to the highly-customized nature of its build, it hasn’t attracted many buyers. Not even for the novelty of owning the $40,000 Baghdad table.
