Dwight Howard Bought $20M LA Mansion

By lo life dun - 08-16-2012, 09:03 AM - Boxden > BX SportsCenter


		For a guy that everyone is speculating might leave LA this summer to sign a long term deal with the largest bidder, he sure doesn’t act like it. Dwight Howard apparently just bought a $20M mansion in Los Angeles this week. And he paid for it with a personal check! Damn, that must be nice, right? Rest easy Lake Show, doesn’t look like Superman is going anywhere, anytime soon… So, Dwight Howard just purchased a home in LA, for nearly $20M……and wrote a check for the house. #Boss #Lakers — Mike Gabriel (@MikedupRadiocom) August 16, 2012

90% of the people have a mortgage...its normal and good....but u should try and pay it off as fast as u can so u dont pay interest

its stupid to have a mortgage and pay interest when u have the $$$ to pay for it up front without any type of interest....i dont understand why these wealthy athletes and rappers (there black most of the time [pic] ) opt for payments and then ball out and blow there money on foolish !! then end up without a house cause they cant make the payments on it

^^ This. And just cause he has a house in LA doesn't mean he won't sign somewhere else. I hope he does stay though.

dwight is 26...so that gives the lakers a 10 year window

[pic] hopefully history wont repeat its self and dwight wont chase kobe out of LA like kobe did shaq.

08-16-2012, 10:06 AM

You know this is a damn lie. I'm sure he bought a house but I strongly doubt he wrote a check for $20mil [pic]

08-16-2012, 10:08 AM

20 mill thats your whole year salary..I would say max 5 mill. This is how they get !!ed up after basketball. Taxes are going to be a !! on that land..

and please don't tell me a 5 mill house won't be enough [pic]

08-16-2012, 10:08 AM

[pic] for real?? He on that Tom Cruise status with his finances

10 yr window for a player thats game is built off dunking? Id say 4-5 yrs the goal should be bringing other young players to play with him by around yr 3-4 because he will def decline. I cant see guys like Blake and Howard being that effective after they turn 30

08-16-2012, 10:27 AM

people (not necessarily on here) are surprised he paid with a cheque. he's earned $80 mil in player salary and probably over $100 mil in endorsements plus will get another $200 million with a new endorsement deal with adidas
