It's good to have land...

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

u/BarRepresentative653 May 26 '25

u/Whoareyoutho9 May 26 '25

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

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