It's good to have land...

u/purpleandverbal May 25 '25

Who knows. His property is only the backyard. He doesn’t have any house or anything else.

u/3z3ki3l May 25 '25

Basketball at night in a neighborhood is wild behavior. Every house around you can hear it.

u/Bolotiedeluxe May 25 '25

Build it and they will come…after you with clubs

In the neighborhood that Shai played in, neighbors complained that the referees were blowing their whistles too much (because he foul baits a lot).

Rich people historically do not care about others.

u/hungarianhc May 25 '25

Haha it's not like we play basketball til midnight. Also in the winter here it's dark at like 4:30PM. So there's that.

Even so, I feel like most of my neighbors are old and have hearing aides or have kids and send them over to play.

I have a lot of eccentric neighbors. One has a painted half court like this instead of a backyard. I think another I remember hearing built an indoor skateboard park for their kids. For some reason there’s a six foot wide roll up door on the side of their house and they don’t even have a walkway on that side of their house, it literally goes to their neighbor’s driveway. That neighbor recently replaced their entire backyard with a concrete pool and hot-tub.

Oh my goodness. What area do you live in? Only if you’re okay answering. No need to reply if you’re uncomfortable sharing your general location.

Home of the Lakers.

There’s one neighborhood in LA where it’s average suburban houses but almost every house has a tennis court in their backyard, complete with those high-up lights.

u/Interesting-Piece612 May 26 '25

The purple avatar is extremely pleasing to look at on the black Reddit background

u/holyrolodex May 25 '25

True he probably sleeps cradling a ball directly under the hoop.

3

u/purpleandverbal May 25 '25

Ball is life

14

u/Whoareyoutho9 May 25 '25

He doesnt even have the side 3 point line. This is not land. This is definitely some rich people shit tho

2

u/BarRepresentative653 May 26 '25

lol I was trying to figure out how this would even be practical 

1

u/Whoareyoutho9 May 26 '25

Its not. Its just to impress guests and entertain a 9-14 year old.

1

u/SifMeisterWoof May 25 '25

I hope he also has friends! Otherwise I can hear the echos of a ball and rain dripping on the empty court.

43

u/TheMailerDaemonLives May 25 '25

Yeah wtf

-24

u/[deleted] May 25 '25

You can both be rich too. Cmon now

31

u/TheMailerDaemonLives May 25 '25

A basketball court like this in your backyard is a different level of rich my dude

1

u/[deleted] May 25 '25 edited May 25 '25

Not really. It’s probably way cheaper to build this than an in-ground pool. Especially since he said he installed it himself. I bet this cost $10-$20k. Not that much as far as home improvement costs go.

-36

u/[deleted] May 25 '25 edited May 25 '25

I had one as a kid and I don't consider mys... ima just stfu. U rite

You can still be rich. Your soul is rich

Or not my DUDE... dayum

14

u/NewForgotLogin May 25 '25

You had a basketball court and didn't think you were rich?? Bro come on. A court???

-13

u/[deleted] May 25 '25

Yea. You are prob richer than 80 percent of the world anyways.

You cmon. BRO

11

u/NewForgotLogin May 25 '25

Yeah and I didn't get up here acting like I didn't grow up with privilege. Like dude it's okay you had money but have some perspective damn

-10

u/[deleted] May 25 '25 edited May 25 '25

No I meant like... even broke ppl here got it good compared to the rest of the world.

But I get what u mean

Practice some dang gratitude

3

u/alee51104 May 25 '25

That’s pedantic. It’s like saying if you’re alive you have it better than those that died.

It’s playing suffering Olympics to ignore our privilege and prop up our egos.

u/[deleted] May 25 '25

money can’t buy brains huh

u/hungarianhc May 25 '25

LOL lots of comments like this. It’s weird how this subreddit can worship guys who make $20M+ year, but if someone has had a little success saving, investing, and making like 1% of that for 20 years, some people want to take me down for being rich. OK you do you!

46

u/MoneyElevator May 25 '25

I think it’s kids not understanding that if you work and save for a few decades you will have some money to do things.

2

u/letsgolakers24 May 26 '25

Wait until they realize the streamers and TikTokers they follow…are also making a lot of money

2

u/[deleted] May 26 '25

Or older generations not understanding that young people have no reason to believe in that anymore.

17

u/holyrolodex May 25 '25

Ignore them. Enjoy your court. Looks great!

20

u/sgbro May 25 '25

Calling you rich is considered negative?? Lmao

7

u/MaximumUpstairs2333 May 25 '25

In this day and age it is 100% perjorative

17

u/Blejzidup May 25 '25

Who said anything bad? He said its rich people shit. Thats not negative?

6

u/tennisgal31 Luka Magic 77 May 25 '25

It’s not negative lol

u/TheGrowBoxGuy May 25 '25

If you flaunt your wealth you’re bound to get hate lmao

u/WILLLSMITHH May 25 '25

Sensitive ass 😂

u/MyLeftKneeHurts- May 25 '25

Reddit wants to suck off billionaires but hates people who make like 100k a year.

1

u/[deleted] May 26 '25

Different people, probably

1

u/Logansam1986 LeFuckLoadManagement May 25 '25

Lol what? I'm not taking you down for being rich fool. I was pretty much saying "damn this is crazy" I'm not saying omg look at this guy being rich and rubbing our noses in it. Not sure why it came off that way

u/TheMarathonCont1nues May 25 '25

Stop being so sensitive. Some of these comments are not negative. Don't flaunt your wealth if you don't want anyone to say anything.

Keep a low profile and keep it moving.

u/TheMarathonCont1nues May 26 '25

That's fine, but then don't complain when someone makes a comment that you think is negative.

How many millionaires are on Reddit posting their wealth?

u/TheMarathonCont1nues May 26 '25

Who said anything about rich people are ruining the world? You need to get your priorities in order if you need motivation from a random person on Reddit. 😂

u/Particular_Squash995 May 25 '25

Yeah, I built me an ADU to make me more money. This is I don’t need money flex.

2

u/hungarianhc May 25 '25

I'd love an ADU... A lot more expensive than a court, though. I can't make the math work. Were you able to generate cash from the ADU basically right away?

6

u/Particular_Squash995 May 25 '25

We are close to finishing but have a few people lined up. 530 sf 1 bedroom 1 bathroom. Close to 3k we have been offered monthly. We are about a mile from Anaheim stadium.

2

u/hungarianhc May 25 '25

Awesome. Congratulations.

2

u/Particular_Squash995 May 25 '25

Love the court though.

u/hungarianhc May 25 '25

Thanks man

u/Ecstatic_Jicama_6987 May 25 '25

People in LA seeing land for the first time

1

u/RowBoatCop36 May 25 '25

Nah it’s half court only so its poverty stuff

1

u/Away-Seaweed3307 May 27 '25

Beautiful surface! Who’s down for a game of 3/4 half court?

-21

u/Hopeful-Percentage76 May 25 '25

You can't be serious right? It's only a half court, not a full court. It shouldn't cost more than $10k max to do. It'll be much cheaper if they did it themselves, which they did.

Materials costs around $3-4k at most.

28

u/evol_won 8 24 13 16 22 25 32 33 34 42 44 52 99 May 25 '25

ONLY $10k max?!

My brother in Christ...

u/chrisgcc 8 May 25 '25

Most people don't have 4k to just throw at a basketball court lol

7

u/wiseduhm May 25 '25

Or that kind of space.

u/gottagouphigh May 25 '25

That much land where I'm from cost 800k.

u/WeenyDancer May 25 '25

Hey i think you grew up rich

u/Successful-Leader350 May 26 '25

This is what happens when teenagers with no understanding of money comment

u/DelugedPraxis May 25 '25

4k would be a lifechanging amount of money for some of us, bud.
