Wilt Chamberlain's Pad 

Post#1 » by Egg Nog » Tue Jan 22, 2008 9:14 pm

(Sorry if this has been posted before, but I haven't seen it since I joined)

This place is just nuts. Renovated and on the market--it's yours if you could afford it. I used to build houses professionally and I cringe trying to figure out how they would have done some of the detailing.


Truly among the world's greatest bachelor pads. Hefner's place is an absolute dump compared to this.

Oh the parties you could have in a place like that! Really cool house. The only thing they don't mention is for a regular sized person you'd feel like a dwarf in it.

Wilt's a smart man. A lot of high caliber athletes from his day and age just weren't payed mega bucks.

He obviously got his cash :D

I saw a show about his house before. And you can barely make it out but above his bed he has a retractable window. Now that is pimp!

Since were on the subject of Houses and NBA Players I thought this would be interesting,

Here is KG and Tim Duncan's houses: http://www.sportshometribune.com/archives/archives4.htm

Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis: http://www.sportshometribune.com/archives/archives3.htm

Jason Ricahrdson, Kevin Durant, Stan Van Gundy and Rashard Lewis again: http://www.sportshometribune.com/archives/archives2.htm

And for the fun of it, Tim Donaghy and Grant Hill: http://www.sportshometribune.com/archives/archives1.htm

Rashard Lewis' new Orlando home is very nice.

Can't belive Tim Dumasshugh can afford a nice house like that on a ref's salary. Maybe it was all those bets he made.

Donaghy reffed for 13 years, and I'm guessing an average nba ref probably makes upwards of 100,000 grand a year. Donaghy probably made even more due to his experience. It adds up, he's probably made an easy 1.5 million + off reffing alone.

When you start out a rookie ref, I highly doubt you make 100k, that sounds more like commentator money. These guys are not very well paid, and they don
