Five years after leaving Denver and the Nuggets behind to make the NBA rounds in DC, and now in Houston, Brazilian NBA center Nenê is hoping to sell the mansion in the Mile High City he recently listed for $3,875,500.

Nenê, whose birth name is Maybyner Rodney Hilário, had bought the 10,000-square-foot mansion for $3.4 million in 2012. Unfortunately, he nailed the posh place the same year he was traded by the Denver Nuggets to the Washington Wizards after a 10-year stint.

Even if Nenê (translation: “baby,” because he’s the youngest member of his family) can no longer enjoy the lovely place due to his many moves for work, someone certainly will want to move in. The setting of the home alone makes it a candidate for the starting lineup.

The master suite comes with a wet bar and balcony. The downstairs features a gym, theater, wine cellar, and lounge area.

Nenê began his NBA career with the Nuggets, the first Brazilian to be picked in the first round of the pro basketball draft. He spent 10 seasons in Denver, battling through injuries while showing bursts of promise. He earned a spot on the NBA’s All-Rookie team his first year.

But continued injuries led Denver to trade the center to the Wizards, where his ailments persisted. He spent four seasons in a Washington uniform. In 2016, Nenê signed a one-year deal with the Houston Rockets.
