Former NBA Star Tony Parker's $16.5 Million Texas Mansion Includes a Waterpark With 8 Pools

Yahoo16-07-2025
After first listing his Texas Hill Country home in late 2021 for $19.5 million, retired NBA star Tony Parker is officially doubling down on efforts to sell the sprawling property he's owned for around two decades, this time with a new real estate agent and a marketing plan featuring a popular internet personality.
The six-time All-Star and former San Antonio Spurs point guard—he currently spends most of his time across the pond, where he's the majority owner and president of the French pro basketball team LDLC ASVEL—has just put his Mediterranean-style residence tucked away in the suburban community of Boerne, some 25 miles northwest of San Antonio, back on the market after a brief absence for $16.5 million.

The listing is now held by Erwin Nicholas II of Houston-based Mr. Real Estate, and he's brought Twitch entertainer Kai Cenat and his AMP (Any Means Possible) crew on board to help advertise the extravagant 53-acre spread to their millions of viewers during the month of July. The 30-day live streamathon features a pop-up Nando's peri-peri restaurant, plus a look at more permanent perks like a nearly 6,000-square-foot gym with a half-court basketball setup and an arcade, a wet bar-equipped movie theater, a barber studio, dual offices, a 1,500-bottle wine cellar, a fingerprint-access trophy room, and an over-the-top waterpark.
'This isn't just a home—it's a legacy,' Nicholas told Robb Report. 'Tony Parker's estate blends world-class amenities with a sense of wonder no other property in Texas can offer. From the tallest private water slides to the largest residential waterpark in the country, we've created a cultural moment that merges luxury real estate with generational storytelling.
'Live streaming has proven to be a powerful emerging market that delivers unprecedented viewership while bringing families together in real time,' he added. 'It's the best global open house you can have—and this estate is the perfect stage.'
Custom-built on a multi-lot parcel the NBA Hall of Famer purchased in 2005, the 53-acre compound within the exclusive Anaqua Springs Ranch community was completed in 2009 while he was still married to actress Eva Longoria. Securely hidden away behind double gates with a guardhouse and a Jurassic Park-themed rear entrance, the residence includes a main mansion, a separate guesthouse, and a detached gym—for a combined total of 10 bedrooms and 12 baths spread across roughly 21,200 square feet.
Inside the primary dwelling, a sweeping wrought iron-railed staircase and an elevator flow to bi-level living space anchored by a double-height living room sporting a stone fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows. From there, a formal dining room seats 16 and a vaulted family room connects to a light gray-hued kitchen outfitted with an eat-in island and top-notch stainless appliances, while an opulent primary suite sports a lounge, a massive walk-in closet, and a marble and travertine bath.
Rounding it all out are the resort-inspired grounds, which host tennis and sand volleyball courts, a full outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven, a greenhouse, an herb garden, a fruit orchard, and even a tortoise habitat. There's also the professionally crafted waterpark, which includes eight pools, a mountain, grottos, several slides, a 35-foot-high jumping ledge, a trio of hot tubs, water cannons, and a lazy river.
The Spurs legend and four-time NBA champion earned almost $170 million over his 18-year career before retiring in 2019 after a final season with the Charlotte Hornets. In addition to his Texas estate, the 43-year-old Belgium native also maintains a historic chateau in France's southern Rhône Valley, where he operates a vineyard.Best of Robb Report

Paramount-Skydance: Latest 90-Day Merger Extension Kicks Off Today

A second 90-day extension on Paramount Global's proposed sale to David Ellison's Skydance automatically triggered today as per the deal agreement, leaving the parties and the FCC more time to nail things down. Approval by the Commission led by Brendan Carr is required to transfer CBS broadcast licenses to Skydance. Any discussions will unfold against a presumably more favorable backdrop, that being a $16 million settlement announced last week between CBS and Donald Trump. More from Deadline 'The Daily Show's Jon Stewart Says Paramount's Trump Settlement Is "Shameful" As Ex-'60 Minutes' Correspondent Steve Kroft Calls It A "Shakedown" Mark Ruffalo Gives "Dumb" Joe Rogan Dead Flowers Over Trump & ICE Abductions Awakening White House Press Secretary Tries To Explain Why Pam Bondi Once Said She Had Jeffrey Epstein Client List, But Now The DOJ Says There Isn't One The status of any conversations between the FCC and Skydance couldn't be ascertained. The current window to close the deal runs through early October. Paramount and Skydance announced their long-gestating merger agreement after six months of back and forth exactly a year ago – on July 7, 2024. The President sued the network and 60 Minutes for $20 billion last fall alleging the newsmagazine edited its presentation of an interview with Kamala Harris to make the then-Democratic candidate sound better. Allegations, filed in court in Amarillo, Texas, shifted after Trump won to rest on a more convoluted, commercial argument. CBS has always denied all allegations and Trump's case wasn't considered strong. Paramount's controlling shareholder Shari Redstone was said to be eager to resolve the suit and move forward with the sale of her family's controlling stake in Paramount. A handful of politicians and interest groups had threatened to sue Redstone for violating anti-bribery statutes if Par agreed to a settlement. The settlement includes a donation for Trump's presidential library and covers his legal expenses. It does not include an expression of regret or apology. Paramount co-CEO George Cheeks told shareholders that settlements are not uncommon to avoid unpredictable legal costs, the risk of an adverse judgment that could result in financial and reputational damage and the disruption to business operations that prolonged legal battles can cause. The settlement with Trump 'offers a negotiated resolution that allows companies to focus on their core objectives rather than being mired in uncertainty and distraction,' he said at Paramount's virtual annual meeting last Wednesday. While the lawsuit concerned Paramount/CBS, any ongoing merger talks at the FCC level would now mostly involve David Ellison and Skydance, which would become the owner of the broadcast licenses in a deal. In December, Disney/ABC News settled a defamation suit by Trump for $15 million, including a contribution to his library, legal costs and an expression of regret over anchor George Stephanopoulos' inaccurate on-air assertion that the president-elect had been found civilly liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll. Trump was found liable of sexually abusing and defaming Carroll.

Kyrie Irving Explains Why Kobe Bryant Is Immortalized: "The Real Kobe Fans Didn't Care About Failures"

Kyrie Irving Explains Why Kobe Bryant Is Immortalized: "The Real Kobe Fans Didn't Care About Failures" originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Kyrie Irving has never been shy about speaking his mind, and in a recent livestream, the Mavericks star made it clear that one name will forever remain untouched in his book: Kobe Bryant. Irving didn't just praise the late legend, he laid down a line in the sand between real fans and what he sees as lazy revisionist critics, all while defending Kobe's legacy with the kind of fire only someone who truly understood the 'Mamba Mentality' could. "I'm not letting people come on and talk about Kobe, like Kobe wasn't one of the best that not only played, but that came in as a 17-year-old against grown men. And by the time this man was 22 years old, he had a few championships, and he was busting the best of the best's a**." "If y'all don't knock that shit off… I'm talking to y'all at home, the f***ing media talking heads, the ones that casually throw names around, like, bro, if you don't knock it off. You weren't like that. It's okay. Not everybody could be Kobe. Not everybody could wear those size, y'know what I mean, those size shoes that he had." "Yeah, I'm not going into detail about this, because what's said on the internet and in the digital space is said. It's the internet. But when it comes to real respect and real recognizing real, this man, Kobe Bean Bryant, is immortalized not just because of his basketball." "That's what I'm trying to tell y'all. Like, this man… he is way bigger because of the character. Because of what we witnessed him go through. We didn't care about certain failures. The real Kobe fans didn't care about the failures. They didn't care about the naysayers." "The real Kobe fans, the real Mamba fans that I'm talking to, didn't care about who he was competing with. We know who f***ed with Kobe and who didn't. I know who f***ed with Kobe and who didn't. I'm not gonna say I knew Kobe the best at all. I won't say that." "You know? I'm not gonna disrespect all his relationships. I'm not gonna do that. But what I will say is, put respect. Put respect where it's due, y'all." "We know who Kobe f***ed with." Kyrie's monologue didn't just defend Kobe's legacy, it highlighted how the modern media age can distort memory, especially for players who are no longer here to defend themselves. In an era where 'GOAT' debates dominate every Twitter thread and sports talk segment, Kyrie doesn't want any part of it. It's fitting. For Irving, Kobe wasn't just one of the greats, he was the blueprint. A legend whose legacy doesn't need defending, but if it comes to that, Kyrie's always ready to pick up the mic and do it story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 23, 2025, where it first appeared.
