Everything is bigger in Texas, unless you are Kyrie Irving.
The basketball star, who grew up in New Jersey, may have to leave some glam houses in his home state after being transferred to the Dallas Mavericks from the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday.
Irving, who has had multiple disagreements with Nets owner Joe Tsai, owns two residences in the Garden State.
Irving, 30, spent $925,000 in 2019 on a three-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse apartment in Union City, which is roughly a 40-minute drive from the Nets’ practice stadium in Brooklyn.
The property, which is 3,130 square feet, offers panoramic views of the New York City skyline.
The apartment is described as a “extremely rare true SoHo-style” loft, with a private lift, enormous windows, wide-plank hardwood flooring, towering 13-foot-high ceilings, original beams, exposed brick, preserved industrial components, and a designer kitchen with stainless steel equipment.

The open floor concept of the home includes two large living rooms. Property records show that his sister, Asia Irving, has a flat in the same building.
Meanwhile, Irving has another location in West Orange, just outside of Newark.
The point guard purchased this nine-bedroom, seven-bathroom mansion four months before buying his Union City loft for $1.17 million, according to records obtained by The Post.

The home, which is approximately 8,000 square feet and is described as a “mid-century contemporary gem,” sits on two acres of ground surrounded by mature trees and vegetation.
The home has cathedral ceilings, intricate mouldings, and stone and hardwood floors.
The property has an indoor and outdoor pool, many entertaining areas, and an open-concept living area.

The home, built in 1967, has been renovated multiple times and is currently believed to be worth $1.8 million.
According to sources, Irving was able to terminate his lease at his former Brooklyn Heights apartment, where he was paying $17,000 per month during the pandemic. Around this time, he decided to make Jersey his permanent home.
It’s unclear what Irving intends to do with the properties now that his job has brought him to Texas. The Post has reached out for comment.
Irving expressed his discontent with the Nets in the weeks preceding up to his trade.
“I just know I wanna be places where I’m celebrated and not just tolerated or just dealt with in a way that doesn’t make me feel respected,” Irving said Tuesday, meeting with the media for the first time since being traded.
“There were times throughout this process when I was in Brooklyn where I felt very disrespected … I work extremely hard at what I do. No one ever talks about my work ethic, though. Everyone talks about what I’m doing off the floor.”
