NBA Legend Patrick Ewing is disposing his mansion in Cresskill, New Jersey, for an enormous sum of $7 million. Buyers can enjoy the luxury and comfort of this elegant home by paying the said amount, while renters can delight in it for $25,000 a month.
The 11-time NBA All-Star, also known as "The Hoya Destroya," bought the 10,524-square-foot custom-built house in 2007. According to listing agent Michele Kolsky, the property has "beyond top-of-the-line" features. These features include an elevator, a lagoon-style swimming area, and of course, a basketball court.
According to Realtor, the mansion has seven bedrooms, a two-storey room with a two-sided fireplace, an open floor plan with hardwood floors, a spiral staircase in the foyer, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an interior balcony. The five bedrooms are located on the second floor with each having its own full-size bathroom. The master bathroom has great features of a fireplace, a steam shower, and a private deck.
At 53, Patrick Ewing is a long-time resident of New Jersey. He is currently associate head coach for the Charlotte Hornets. Ewing played 1,039 games for 17 seasons with the New York Knicks.
NBA legend Ewing was indefatigable and relentless in pursuit of a championship despite being denied on an annual basis. One of the finest shooting centers to play in the NBA, Ewing left the New York Knicks as its all-time leader in nearly every category and as NBA's 13th all-time scorer with 24,815 points.
An NBA report relays Ewing was chosen as Rookie of the Year in 1985. He is also a two-time Olympic gold medalist in 1984 and 1992, as well as One of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History in 1996.
Ewing never achieved the Holy Grail of the NBA, although he came close twice. He led the Knicks to the Finals in 1994 but lost to the Houston Rockets which was then led by Hakeem Olajuwon.
At the tail end of his career with the Knicks, he was sidelined because of a partially torn Achilles' tendon when they were defeated by the San Antonio Spurs in the 1999 NBA Finals.
