Melo's Mansion

Rappers been around long, makin mad noise you see
Still I haven't seen one rapper livin comfortably...

Carmelo Anthony made some news over the weekend when he scored a plush new mansion in Denver’s south suburbs. The rumored price was around $12 million. Included in the stylish digs were swimming pools, eight fireplaces, a multi-car garage, a 5000 bottle wine cellar, and plush marble and mahogany.

Eight fireplaces? That can deplete the ozone layer over one long home stand.

One selling point was the house included a recording studio, which piqued Melo’s interest because he owns a record label. Ahh, yes, an athlete who owns a record label. Never seen that before; should be a huge success.

Also included was a boxing gym, complete with a getaway runway for those “smack and run” combos. Nate Robinson has already applied to be the towel boy.

There’s an entire wing devoted to Rahchine and Slim and the rest of Melo’s entourage. Follow the burning incense smell and you’ll meet up with them.

A lovely aspect of the pad is it’s only one level, Melo has trouble getting past the first round, ya know.

Larry Brown and Isiah Thomas did not send housewarming gifts.

Also on the property is an 11,000 square foot barn. Did Melo grew up with horses and farm animals in West Baltimore? I’m sure you’ll be able to steal glimpses of him riding along the horse trails with LaLa. Maybe he can ride his horse into the Pepsi Center?
