Retired basketball player Ron Harper, who won three NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls and two with the L.A. Lakers, has unloaded his New Jersey home for $1.485 million. The Bergen County abode appears to have been a nice investment. The former point guard bought the home in 2011 for $875,000 and remodeled it soon after.

Ron Harper: Let’s say a prayers for my guy @Kenny Anderson who is the hospital after having a stroke over the weekend. You’re in my thoughts my brother.
Harper, 53, who won five championships in his 15 years in the NBA after being selected No. 8 overall by the Cavs in 1986, is also baffled and can think of only one explanation. “Youth. Ignorance,” Harper said Sunday of Irving, 25, after signing autographs at the legends booth on Cavs day at the $9.75 million World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club. “When I used to play on bad teams and you trained all off-season to play 82 games, you get to the first round and you lose. You’re guaranteed to play till June. The East is good, but you know that you’re the best basketball team,” Harper said. “I don’t really understand what’s behind it.
Harper said even if the Cavs accommodate Irving’s request, it might be a flashback to Harper’s era. “It’s not a guarantee that the Cavaliers are going to trade him to a good team,” Harper said. “I asked a guy, ‘What happened to the old-school days?’ When a guy asked to get traded, you traded him to the sorriest team. That’s the way it worked.”
Mike Trudell: Metta World Peace just tied Ron Harper for 22nd on the @NBA’s all-time steals list with swipe No. 1,716.
