Former Houston Rockets Star Luis Scola Selling 2 Texas Homes

The Houston real estate market is twice as nice for a former Rockets center.

Luis Scola, one of the more durable big men in NBA history, is selling not one, but two Houston-area homes. Combined, the two homes add up to just under a million dollars.

First, the more quaint option—a four-bedroom, four-bathroom home in Pearland, TX, listed for $379,000. Records show the home was listed for $324,000 just a couple of weeks before Scola bought it in 2013.

The 3,900-square foot home is two stories and features two fireplaces, a game and media room with a wet bar option, and a second-floor balcony.

Additionally, the space has a generous master suite, an open-flow kitchen, and a large covered patio wired for speakers, leading into a supersized backyard.

Not too far away in the same city, Scola is selling another home priced at $580,000. It has four bedrooms and five bathrooms, and offers a level of taste comparable to that of the other home he’s selling.

The listing agent calls this one “paradise living,” with a backyard equipped with a pool, spa, fountain, and a gazebo with a lake-view backdrop.

The family room features a two-floor ceiling with giant windows that let in tons of natural light. And like the first home, the listing agent says the house’s floor plan is ideal for entertaining.

Despite spending the bulk of his NBA career in Houston, the Argentinean appears to have chosen Indiana (where he only spent two seasons) as his U.S. home base. Property records show Scola is still holding onto a mansion in Fishers, IN.

Scola was a three-time All-EuroLeague selection before landing in the NBA in 2007 and making an immediate impact. He was named to the All-Rookie team in his first season. He went on to play for the Pacers, Toronto Raptors, and Brooklyn Nets before signing a deal to play in China for the Brave Dragons of Shanxi. The big man is also the owner of two Olympic medals—one gold and one bronze—as a member of the Argentinean men’s basketball team.
