The sale price for the 28,000-square-foot estate at 3385 Old Keystone Road had been listed at $19.9 million. The facilities, built in 2003, include a swimming pool and spa, a guest house and private tennis courts. The home has three floors and includes a game room, cigar room, theater, sauna room, cabana room and library.The home was to come furnished, according to the lawsuit. Its master bedroom, for example, had a council table, a sofa, a coffee table, four chairs, three end tables, a sofa bench and a bed. Its game room had two pool tables, three pub tables and 30 leather bar stools.

Matt Geiger has decided to lower the price of the property to $16.9 million, but it comes unfurnished so you won’t inherit any of Geiger’s furniture.

Matt Geiger is a real estate investor in his post basketball life, but I don’t think he’s pulling down the kind of money to live in a $16-$21 million crib. This is Matt Geiger not Shaq. His biggest contract in the NBA was a six year $48 million dollar deal he signed with Philadelphia, but never finished due to knee problems. Even if he got all of the money, taxes and various expenses ate up over half of it. Since Matt’s older now and doesn’t feel the need to impress people with the size of his toys, downsizing seems like a good idea.

Former NBA player Benoit Benjamin was arrested and charged with simple battery and resisting arrest following a domestic disturbance at his house Sunday afternoon. When police arrived at the scene they found a woman with visible swelling on her forehead, and a pissed off Benjamin.

According to the arrest report, when the officer tried to make contact, Benjamin attempted to walk into the front door of the house.
Police say that when Benjamin was ordered to stop, he used obscenity and said, “This is my house.”

Told that he was under arrest, Benjamin allegedly said, “No I’m not.”

Despite Benoit thinking he wasn’t under arrest the police took the former Supersonic, Laker, Net, Grizzly, Buck, Raptor, 76er, and Cavalier to the Ouachita Correctional Center where he was released on $4,000 bond.. Just in time to be honored on Tuesday by the city of Monroe, Louisiana.
