Despite his ample financial resources that could have allowed him to purchase a lavish Southern California home, the four-time NBA champion opted for proximity to his roots, choosing the seaside property located just 11 miles away from Ladera Ranch, where he spent his formative years.

Thompson’s seaside abode, acquired for $2.2 million, boasts three bedrooms and four bathrooms. Originally constructed in 1974, the residence offers its occupants breathtaking vistas of the Pacific Ocean.

In addition to its inviting ambiance, Thompson’s Dana Point residence includes a two-car garage, a backyard swimming pool, a capacious living room with a fireplace, and a gaming room complete with a bar, billiards table, and lounge area.
