Retired NBA star Jermaine O’Neal has put his 16,000-square foot Texas mansion on the market for $12.5 million.

The 4.8-acre property in the Dallas suburbs could be a good option for any Mavericks star looking to settle down: It comes with a regulation-sized indoor basketball court, not to mention a ‘gym with custom rubber flooring designed for weightlifting’ and a ‘spa-like sauna,’ according to the listing on Realtor.com.

The cavernous home offers eight bedrooms, 10 full baths, three half baths, as well as a lavish ‘primary suite’ and a ‘resort-sized’ pool in the back yard.

And in case you get bored, there’s a full cinema-style theatre and a two-lane bowling alley.

The South Carolina-born O’Neal never played in Dallas professionally, but Texas is known to attract highly paid athletes because there is no state income tax. The 45-year-old earned $167 million in salary over 18 NBA seasons before retiring with the Golden State Warriors in 2014. He was previously a star center for the Indiana Pacers and was briefly the youngest player in NBA history after the Portland Trail Blazers drafted him out of high school at just 17 in 1996.

O’Neal has laid down some roots in Texas. 

The 6-foot-11 retiree has one daughter, Asjia, who was a star volleyball player and two-time national champion at the University of Texas, and he’s been coaching his son, Jermaine Jr., at Dynamic Prep in Southlake.

A LexisNexis search revealed that O’Neal took out loans for the property of $3.5 million and $7.1 million in 2017 and 2022, respectively.

Naturally, the home is adorned with all the regalia of modern luxury: ‘Kitchen with Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator/ freezer, two sinks, two dishwashers, Wolf Brand appliances including a six-burner commercial grade gas cooktop, vent hood, warming oven, refrigerator drawer, double oven with convection feature, large walk-in pantry, and an abundance of exotic granite counter tops, cabinets, and prep space.’

There’s also a curves staircase, elevator, wet bar, sun room, and even a mud room off the garage.

O’Neal is, perhaps, best remembered for the 2004 ‘Malice at the Palace,’ in which he and several Pacers teammates came to blows with Detroit Pistons fans, resulting in his 15 game suspension and $4.1 million in lost salary.

But O’Neal’s career was hardly limited to that one episode.

A six-time All-Star, O’Neal ranked as one of the best sH๏τ blockers in the NBA and once averaged 24.3 points a game for an entire season.
