It's been an exciting off-season for NBA basketball this year and the players are being watched carefully. The news that Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony and his TV-personality fiancee La La Vazquez have put their Littleton, Colorado home on the market has basketball watchers talking. But according to the Denver Post, Nuggets fans have no reason to worry. He still has a year on his contract and has said his agent is negotiating for a three-year extension.

Listing agent John Fitzpatrick of The Kentwood Co. in the Tech Center speculated that the athlete may be selling to get a little closer to town. His family situation has changed since he bought the home in 2007 from Qwest exec Stephen Jacobsen, who had the estate custom built in 2002. It looks Anthony will be set to take a big loss even if he gets list price. He paid $12 million but is only asking $9.5 million for the six-acre property in the Polo Ridge Estates gated community. The property has a 21,000-plus- square-foot main house, a 5,500-square-foot barn and paddock, and a 1,600-square- foot guest house. The main home has eight bedrooms, a wine cellar, recording studio, home theater, gym and a pool.

Damn. Basketball players today (and yes, I'll defend this sweeping generalization) have ZERO taste and/or or any sense of how to spend their money. Home Depot kitchen install in a "$9MM" house? Wow. Just wow!

You hay seeds are just jealous because your two bedroom - one bath frame house is leaking because of the rain from the hurricane. Here's a clue, get a jump shot and improve that 6 inch vertical 400%, lose the beer gut, improve your cigarette smoking cardio efficiency, quit hating and get one for yourself.

Read Atlas Shrugged. About what we are seeing with the government and
our country. Written by a Russian escapee in the 1950's about what
would happen in the U.S. if the left ever got enough money and power.
Very revealing and sobering. Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand used to be
required reading in high schools and colleges around the nation. Now
they are trying to get it banned. What does the left have to hide?
Find out, read the book. They are and will ruin our economy and way
of life.
