You probably haven’t heard Kiki VanDeWeghe’s name in a while. After his playing career ended, he had front office roles with the Mavericks and Nuggets, before joining ESPN as an analyst for a season, then back to the NBA as a coach/GM of the Nets from 07-10, and now has been working in the league office moving his way up to VP of Basketball Operations. He’s been pretty much a behind the scenes guy since he retired and you’ve probably heard more about his daughter Coco (especially from us) over the past few years than him.
Well he’s in the news this week because he’s put his Encino house on the market. It’s a house that looks like Slash should be living in it rather than a retired NBA player. Lots and lots of black in this thing.
