Doesn't sound incongruent to what WTW said, really.

Yeah... he never comes back to Lawrence. He just owns a condo there.

Outstanding analogy. Beems is Oldfella at the age of 24.

Yep... that's why they banned me on Tardhawk Slant, squawk.

Something original for a change, just once.

You know there are wealthy people in this world, who own property all over the place, and in many cases they never lay eyes on it . . . ever.

Sounds like my grandmother's neighbors at the 'ole townhomes. They might have come back for a day or two last summer or something. Probably donated more, however.

Would owning a condo in Lawrence allow him to do some interesting tax things to save money???

I don't know, just a thought.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what I like to call "desperation"

There's nothing more desperate than a mad ku fan rushing around demanding validation and affirmation with his oldfella talking points. So, can you provide any proof at all that Paul Pierce comes back to Lawrence with any regularity. I suspect Paul Pierce, like most star athletes, and pro coaches/major college coaches has set up an LLC. I suspect Paul Pierce probably owns multiple properties and uses them for tax purposes. There's a significant number of well known people who own property in Manhattan, at places like Colbert Hills and elsewhere. They just don't blab about it all over the place.

So what, he was given a condo to live in when he went to KU, and Lawrence is such a hole that nobody wants a condo there, so he hasn't been able to sell it.

His car was spotted driving down Jayhawk Boulevard just a couple of months ago, but if your ego can't handle the fact that Pierce returns to Lawrence from time to time, so be it.

Undoubtedly his car was signing checks and doing other high-roller alumni-ass crap. On Jayhawk Boulevard. Allegedly.

rich people usually have tinted cars so you can't ID them while driving and mob (lynch?) them. It helps to keep a low profile. Or is this one of those situations where you assume any ole 300m with rims and a "bentley" grill conversion is one of your black athletes?

Seriously, though. What's it like getting swept by Colorado?

Do you remember your last football season? It's a bit better than that.

Pierce's car purportedly rolling thru Lawrence makes 84-68 a closer game.

WavetheWheat · « **Reply #92 on:** February 20, 2011, 09:37:58 AM »

This is news to me. (Sounds made up) However, if Pierce bought a condo in the Oread. You all should be happy since it was developed/owned by a Stater.

Paul Pierce unlike other KU NBA players has not been one to come back for alumni events/games/anything. I know for a fact many people have reached out to Paul for donations back to the school (particularly during renovations) to my knowledge the efforts were unsuccessful.

So he's owned a condo in Lawrence for less than a year???? Man, he must visit "all the time"

What's the effing point of this thread???? BMW, eff off you loser. Go hiking or stick yourself with one of those "clean" needles they give junkies in that trash hole town and die of AIDS.

Of course they came back. Don't want to send the bag full of cash in the mail. Leaves a paper trail.

They're all making millions in the NBA dumbass.

It must really suck for those guys to of had to take a pay cut...

WavetheWheat · « **Reply #97 on:** February 20, 2011, 10:28:21 AM »

So I flipped through these photos....

I saw Marcus Henry, Todd Haley, Jeff Graves, Aaron Miles, Xavier Henry, Cole Aldrich, Sherron Collins, and Mario Chalmers.

http://www.kuathletics.com/view.gal?id=87483 (38-51 pertain to this conversation)

I didn't see Paul. Perhaps he was tooling around Jayhawk blvd in his "car" or chilling in his fat pad.

CrushNasty · « **Reply #98 on:** February 20, 2011, 10:36:57 AM »

If Pierce has a condo or is back in town w/o any media coverage, I'm assuming he's just doing a better job at keeping his baby mamma happy than Rush or Sherron ever did.

I'd like to see the inside of that condo and see who's living there and if they've ever seen or heard of Paul.

Great thread over here on a KState message board. 'Grats Beems
