Retired NBA basketball star Scottie Pippen is asking for $40,000 a month for his Harbor Beach waterfront home in Fort Lauderdale, according to the New York Post.

Pippen originally listed his 10,484-square-foot mansion at 2571 Del Lago Drive in 2014 for $11.8 million. A little more than three years later, the mansion remains on the market.

In November, Pippen knocked down the asking price to $10.9 million, a $600,000 markdown from his previous $11.5 million price. Pippen even tried luring buyers by throwing in a 55-foot Van Dutch yacht along with the residence, for a total of $12.5 million, but still no avail.
