    young lebron and wade struggled in international play early because they couldn't solve this, too, imo.

    Old home in TX
    Luka Sets Down Roots: The Young Dallas Mavericks Star’s New 5,225-Square-Foot, Four-Bedroom, 4.5-Bathroom House Is Valued At $2.7 Million.

    https://www.centraltrack.com/check-out-luka-doncics-sweet-new-preston-hollow-home/

    New/Sharapova's old home in CA. So far CA's lousy high income tax compared to 0% in TX hasn't seemed to make him bat an eye, having already given multiple generous monetary contributions in So Cal for a variety of causes .... the Fires, restoration at least once of Kobe and Gianna's mural and other things. Go Luka!!!

    :rock: :rock: :rock:

    Located in the Hill Section of Manhattan Beach, spans more than 8,600 square feet and includes five bedrooms. It was designed by the Los Angeles-based firm KAA Design and completed in 2015, three years after Sharapova purchased the ocean-view lot. The modern residence features striking concrete walls, expansive glass panels, multiple outdoor fireplaces and a lushly landscaped yard that offers both privacy and dramatic views of the Pacific.

    I assume he has indoor tennis courts that can be converted to indoor basketball floor?

    :Kobe Shrug: .... maybe he was REALLY taken with the bowling alley?



    :Laugh:


    But seriously you are probably on to something. That place is huge and no doubt he's going to have a nice court somewhere, probably indoors so he can get the proper (limited) give with the wood setup vs unyielding concrete of an outdoor court.

    I reffed games for my daughter’s futbol(soccer) games when she was young. I think it was girls 8-10. I couldn’t believe how much complaining I received during and after the games. Needless to say, I lasted one season.

    KareemtheGreat’s is much better- it has a FOUR lane bowling alley.
    On a serious note, I’ve never been a fan of large swaths of concrete walls, and bland modern architecture. I’m a forever student of interior and exterior architectural design since I’m asked to come up with varied themes for both and build them for every new version of the game.
    However, that view and proximity to the mighty Pacific are worth the high price tag.

    Good for him :Schrooder Clown:

    He bought a fab new house in LA area too per his pay grade that he can't live in with his family whether at home or on the road, except for the season we brought him back near minimum.
