Miami Heat center Shaquille O'Neal is looking to sell his Miami Beach home for $35 million -- $3 million more than when he first listed it in 2005.The eight-bedroom, nearly 20,000-square-foot home is on Star Island, a private, artificial island in Biscayne Bay. The Mediterranean-style home, on a 2.5-acre waterfront lot, has an indoor basketball court, gym, steam and sauna room and a two-bedroom guest house, according to the property listing. An outdoor Jacuzzi, swimming pool, tennis court and dock are also on the property. The home was built in 1992 by another Heat center, Rony Seikaly, who sold it in 1995. Mr. O'Neal, who owns the home through a trust, bought the property for $18.8 million in 2004, shortly after being traded to the Heat by the Los Angeles Lakers. He listed the home for $32 million in 2005, less than a year after he bought it, and reportedly looked at properties in Fort Lauderdale before pulling the Star Island house off the market. In addition to leading the Heat to their first-ever NBA championship
last season, Mr. O'Neal, 34 years old, has also won three championships
with the Lakers and an Olympic gold medal in 1996.
