Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce is looking to make some big bucks after listing his mansion in Calabasas up for sale, per Jack Flemming of The Los Angeles Times. The property is reportedly on the market for nearly $11 million, which is around $4.5 million more than the price Pierce initially paid for the mansion.
The 10-time All-Star bought the L.A.-based property in 2009 for around $6.5 million. Here are some gorgeous shots of the Celtics legend's property for sale, per the LA Times.
Over his decade-long stay in the salmon-coated mansion, Pierce filled up the property with tons of luxurious amenities. This reportedly included a bowling alley, a wet bar, and a gym, among others. Perhaps the most eye-catching feature of the mansion is the Boston Celtics themed court sitting in the back.
It does seem kind of ironic to find a Celtics court in Los Angeles. Nonetheless, it's hard to fault Pierce for continuing to bleed green even while residing in Los Angeles, given he spent majority of his career in Beantown.
Born and raised in Oakland, California, Pierce eventually went to high school in Inglewood. Being near Los Angeles all his life, Pierce grew up an avid Lakers fan and of course, a Celtics hater.
However, his colors instantly changed from the Purple and Gold to the Green and White of the rival Celts when Boston took him at no. 10 in the 1998 NBA draft.
He eventually carved out a Hall of Fame career, playing 19 seasons, 15 of which came in a C's uniform. In 2008, just a year before buying his L.A.-based mansion, Pierce claimed his lone NBA championship and winning Finals MVP, which ironically came at the expense of the Los Angeles Lakers
