Mike Miller Auctioning off House

Miami Heat guard Mike Miller will sell his house on Saturday morning to the highest bidder.

Miller is auctioning off his three-story, six-bedroom, 9,000-square-foot waterfront house.

There's no minimum price for the house, Miller said, according to Associated Press.

"There's risks with everything but that's my nature," Miller said.

"The way I play basketball is the same way I do business, and that's aggressive. I think it's the best opportunity for the buyer. I'm excited for the buyer and for me personally, the seller. It gives me a chance to move off it quickly."

Miller made seven 3-pointers in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, when the Heat topped Oklahoma City to clinch this season's championship. And while the house has tons of selling points on its own - 12-foot mahogany doors, marble ceilings, a cigar and wine room, a swim-up bar and, naturally, a basketball setup in the driveway - the fact that someone will be buying it from an NBA champion might help make it a bit more attractive.

Still, the notion of selling a house this way is clearly not for everyone.

"It is extremely novel," said Trayor Lesnock, the president of Platinum Luxury Auctions. "People are always very surprised that a high-end home would sell like this without the involvement of a bank or a lender. So it is very much a niche-market business. For high-net-worth individuals who have very little debt in their home, no debt in their home and they'd rather sell quickly because they can't stand waiting, this makes sense to them."
