Looks like the FIBA World Cup MVP will be living in a former Cavs point guard’s home now.

Kyrie Irving has purchased ex-Cavaliers player Daniel Gibson’s old home, situated west of the Quicken Loans Arena. Gibson himself is currently undergoing some issues including a separation from singer Keyshia Cole.
Via the LA Times:
While news of LeBron James’ $17 million listing has been leading real estate headlines, new teammate and fellow all-star Kyrie Irving has made a move of his own, buying a Westlake, Ohio, home from former Cavaliers guard Daniel Gibson and his estranged wife, singer-songwriter Keyshia Cole.
The two-story home features a recording studio, a home theater and a trophy room in slightly more than 5,500 square feet.
The 22-year-old point guard paid $800,000 for the two-story residence, found on more than half an acre west of Quicken Loans Arena. Gibson paid $1.25 million for the property in August 2009 and had asked as much as $1.1 million for the home last year.
The Tudor-style home, built in 2007, sports Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, coffered ceilings and stone accents. Features include a music studio and lofted area with a hidden room and a finished basement complete with a home theater, fitness room, trophy room and wet bar.
The first-floor master suite touts a walk-in closet and a bathroom with a soaking tub and salon style chair. In all, the home counts four bedrooms and six bathrooms in slightly more than 5,500 square feet.

PACMAN MAKES DEBUT IN PHILIPPINE LEAGUE
Legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao actually did make his basketball debut the other night.
Pacquiao scored 1 point and pulled down a rebound as player/coach of Kia Sorento. His move from boxing, temporarily to basketball though seems more of a publicity stunt, as Pacman’s actual basketball ability leaves a lot to be desired.
