Basically all the cities/neighborhoods in LA between LAX and Long Beach that are fairly close to ocean. Manhattan Beach, El Segundo, Hermosa Beach, San Pedro, Torrance, Palos Verdes, Wilmington.

Ok HIM side of town, I got it

Believe a decent amount of Lakers in the past used to live in the South Bay. Not sure about these days.

I lived out on Manhattan Beach for a few years (2017-2018 ). Used to see a lot of NBA players (non-Lakers) living out there.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

How come you didn't include taxes? You plan on paying it upfront, quarterly or annually? Most people roll it into their monthly payment.

 

[lovehateself]

lots of Kings hockey players stay in manhattan beach

We also saw how it affected the NBA with players like Schröder. I’m waiting to see how either league reacts when it’s a household name.

Reallllly amazing how it didn't (and won't) impact one of his former high profile teammates

She can't even hide the rage. Don't post anymore pics, Rach.

You can't appreciate a player like Kobe unless you watched him on a nightly basis. You just can't. LeBron is the opposite. On a nightly basis he's not that impressive but on paper he's eventually gonna be in the goat conversation. People laugh at the Nash/Dwight team but that was a legacy defining season for Kobe in the same way this past year was for Steph. Kobe will always be 'better' than LeBron to me

Word. Bean made you feel something while he was playing, it was the flair and artistry like with MJ. Poetry in motion. Bron too stiff except when he gets hot with the jumper.

 

[lawdog1]

With the Lakers training facility being in El Segundo, I would think a lot of them still stay in the South Bay. Probably mostly in Manhattan and Hermosa. Maybe Play Del Rey as well.

She's been hosting the show for 5 years. It was well known. ESPN marketed it heavy, especially within the ESPN app. I don't think you can just be quiet about the show cancelling. She had to say something and show she is in good spirits.

Her eyes look photoshopped.

This is why I brought it up. The whole thing just seems wild to me.

Only part of your reply I agree with.

LeBron < Kobe...unfortunately.

 

[frshstunna]

Can we keep today Bron free and just keep talking bout real estate and California?

For sure. I just don’t think the look in her face exactly matches the words in the post. But maybe that’s just her natural smile.

Oh, I absolutely agree. Her career is in tremendous shambles right now.

I don't even think she'll ever really recover from this. She's not "young". She may very well be done with ESPN as well. I think she may end up in Turner though, doing sideline gigs. Or maybe get lucky enough to host something on NBA TV.

But I'm fairly certain her days with ESPN are over. Time to move to Atlanta and shack up with Jimmy.

Imagine an entire week where we don't talk about Bron, Kobe, Steph or player rankings

I'm disappointed that the Lakers didn't retain Dudz as an assistant, but the Mavs probably offered a more prominent role and money.

There's definitely value having him around, but at the same time the average age of this roster is like early 30s.

 

[storm2006]

Good stuff on the real estate discussion

That's easy the answer is too much. Move to the South and live like a king.

Folks say this constantly but I’ve always wondered if it was an overrated sentiment. Where in the South are you recommending?

I need another investment property. Seeing that money once a month for doing absolutely nothing is almost better than sex.

“Almost”??? But seriously, was your property affected by the pandemic? I know a lot of folks telling me about how their neighbors units have been unoccupied for months, in some cases a year because of folks not being able to afford rent. Then there’s buildings giving all sort of incentives to move-in as well. Curious to hear directly from an owner.

 

[frshstunna]

Speaking of Dudley…Wild surprising that he the one still around from that BC era outta Troy Bell and Craig Smith, yo was the chubby kinda nice dude back then at that school

I got cash for all that, just want $600k and the bank can leave me alone

 

[commonsense23]

Plaschke really running out of things to write. Bruh! LoLz

 

[antidope]

I just bought a house. Gonna pay property taxes quarterly. I'm also doing an interest only mortgage over the 30 year amortizing.
