If you’re going to be a big white stiff in the NBA, it’s best to land a gig in a city with a low cost of living. Like Jonas Jerebko, who landed in Detroit – where you can buy a house for less than the cost of a Charbucks pumpkin latte.
Jerebko, a Swedish-born center standing at 2.08m and weighing 105kg, whatever the hell that means, has never averaged more than 10 ppg in the NBA. But because he’s in Detroit, he can afford a 4 bedroom, 6 bath home with 8000+ square feet of living space, which is now for sale for $1,075,000.
According to the Zillow listing, it has a 3 story elevator, an indoor basketball court, a jacuzzi and a sauna, and a koi pond with waterfall. Nothing says, “I play for Detroit, but I am white and live in the suburbs” like “koi pond with waterfall.”
Hurry and grab this house before Justin Verlander buys it for Kate Upton.
Highlights of Jonas’ Suburban Pad:
• 4 parking spaces; 1,200 sq. ft. garage!
• If the lower level doesn’t get you laid, you’re hopeless
• 10 minutes from Whole Foods
• 40 minutes from The Penthouse Club
Mortgage: About $4,100 a month before you figure in someone to constantly clean the windows
