All good things—even one’s self-professed “pride and joy”—have a price.

Case in point, in 2011 former Dallas Maverick Shawn Marion raved about a new $4 million mansion he had just purchased in Dallas. He had even taken pains to approve every fabric, accessory, and piece of furniture that went into his home.

Six years later, Marion’s love affair with his mansion appears to have come to an end. The former NBA forward, who last played in the Big D during the 2013-14 season, has listed his home for $5.95 million.

The 12,629-square-foot home sits on an acre lot and features 32-foot ceilings. There are six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, four living areas, two dining areas, and a chef’s kitchen.

The master suite boasts a sitting area, fireplace, and two-level closet. There’s also a wood-paneled office, upstairs game room, home theater, gym, two wet bars, wine room, indoor lounge, and downstairs guest suite.

Though the list price doesn’t include the furnishings, a buyer could negotiate for Marion’s “minimalist [and] sophisticated decorating palette.”

Marion spent 16 seasons in the NBA, most notably with the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks. He played a major role with the 2011 NBA Champion Mavericks, was a four-time NBA All-Star, and earned an Olympic bronze medal. For his career, Marion scored nearly 18,000 points and pulled down more than 10,000 rebounds.
