Got a couple million? Dr. J's St. George home is yours

St. George (Salt Lake Tribune) » The neighbors weren't about to complain about a little outdoor basketball one-on-one with the kids.

Seriously, if you lived next to a Basketball Hall of Famer, you, too, might press up against the kitchen window for a view of a jump hook or slam dunk. Angie Adams tried not to do that during the three years that Julius "Dr. J" Erving lived here in the Stone Cliff gated community, and she sometimes had to admonish her kids to stop gawking.

"I'd have to say, 'Kids! Get away from the window!' " she recalled.

Now the former Philadelphia 76ers superstar has moved on, but the outdoor rubberized court, complete with his old team's logo and all-American colors, is available for a price. The five-bedroom, 6,572-square-foot home attached to the court is listed at $2.25 million -- down a quarter-million from when Dr. J decided to sell last year.

It's a two-level flat-top stone and stucco home with a front door you could drive a Smart Car through. Four of the bedrooms have their own bathrooms, and the bath in the master suite is the size of a row boat. The builder contacted someone who works with NFL teams to find such a big and tall tub, said Cindy Campbell, the broker who found the home for Erving and now is marketing it for him.
