    The Exotic Cars of NBA Players

    The NBA has some very charismatic players that love to indulge in exotic sports cars and luxury vehicles. Nowadays, basketball players are showing off big on social media, letting the world see their incredible fleets of vehicles. Fast cars and basketball players really go hand in hand, as they love to express their individual style. Here is a look into the garages of some of the most famous NBA players. 

    Michael Jordan

    Jordan is one of the most famous athletes of all time. Widely regarded as the greatest basketball player to ever grace the court, his career is littered with championships and All-Star performances. Through his time in the NBA, his many sponsorships, and his wildly successful and influential shoe line, he has amassed a staggering net worth of over $2 billion dollars.

    Jordan seems like a man that enjoys collecting luxurious things, from cigars to champagne, so of course, this would extend to his vehicle collections as well. He has owned many cars over his lifetime but seems to have a preference for Mercedes, many Ferraris, and surprisingly, Corvettes. The Chevrolet Corvette may not be the most lavish of choices, but Jordan has owned several over the years, including a grey C4, and a red ZR1 (40th-anniversary edition).

    In terms of Ferraris, Jordan has owned a black Ferrari 512 TR and a yellow 599 GTB Fiorano with a 612 horsepower V12 engine. He has a silver Cadillac XLR, a black Mercedes Benz CL 65, and several Aston Martins including a silver DB9 Volante and a custom made red DB7 Volante with a V12 engine.

    Ricky Rubio

    Ricky Rubio has made quite the name for himself as one of the best point guards in the NBA. As one of the few current players in the NBA to come from Spain, he is beloved in his home country and remembered fondly. PokerStars Streamer Alberto Pérez recalls playing against Rubio when they were younger and says he was the best on his team.

    With his well-known skills, he was fortunate enough to sign a 3 year, $51 million dollar deal with the Phoenix Suns, a sizable sum that has allowed him to buy several luxury vehicles. Most famously, Rubio has always been seen with his Black Range Rover. That is more his trademark vehicle and daily commuter, but he also owns a Red Audi R8, and a gunmetal grey BMW X6.

    Russell Westbrook

    Westbrook has found a lot of success in the NBA. He is a nine-time All-Star and his contract with the Houston Rockets nets him over $40 million a year. When he’s not on the court, you can catch Westbrook out driving one of his incredible foreign cars. Westbrook apparently loves cars to the extent that felt he needed to open his own dealership.

    A native of Orange County, California, Westbrook now owns five dealerships in the area, selling Jeep, Chevrolet, Dodge, and Ram. When it comes to his personal garage, Westbrook has some amazing vehicles. He is especially well known for his $380,000 Lamborghini Aventador, with an eye-catching orange paint job and glossy rims. Aside from that, he also owns a black Range Rover.

    LeBron James

    Widely considered one of the greatest players of all time, and certainly one of the wealthiest, LeBron James can certainly afford to spend in style, and he does. LeBron has been seen driving all types of unique and exotic vehicles around. His garage collection is extensive and filled with some timeless and newer rides.

    He has an all-white Range Rover HSE, A Mercedes S63 AMG, an orange Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and an army green Rubicon, and those are just for quick trips to the grocery store.

    When LeBron really wants to impress, he has a number of very expensive vehicles for every occasion. His Lamborghini Aventador is worth $670,000 and has a striking custom floral paint job that matches his line of Nike shoes. Just as prestigious as his Lamborghini is his Rolls-Royce Phantom, valued at over $300,000. Another status symbol in his all-white collection is his Bentley Continental GT, worth more than $200,000.

    He also has some fun vehicles, outside of the usual supercars, like a purple 1975 Chevrolet Impala lowrider with matching chrome and purple rims, a silver 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT, and a white 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS with white rims.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more)?
    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
