McGrady: There is a plane in the garage.
Yao Ming's teammate McGrady loves super sports cars. What he appreciates most is his silver Ferrari. "It only takes a few seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km, just like my first step to break through my opponent." Obviously, this is not cool enough. McGrady is the most willing to spend money on transportation among NBA stars. His White Falcon 2000 jet is the first private jet among NBA players. Even Jordan never owned this kind of transportation in his heyday.
Yao Ming: Massage while driving.
When Yao Ming first arrived in the United States, he didn't even have a driver's license in China. The first scooter was Toyota Sequoia, which was provided by the club and had to be driven by Colin Pine, his personal translator. Dayao, who is eager for the steering wheel, always puts himself in the co-pilot seat after the race, dreaming of becoming a car fan … until he gets an American driver's license. In February 2002, Yao Ming invested1.2000 USD to equip himself with a BMW 745i with the words "YY 1 1" printed on the rear. "YY" is the initials of his and his girlfriend Ye Li's names, and "1 1" is Yao Ming's jersey number in the Rockets and Ye Li's jersey number in the national team.
This dark blue BMW has a displacement of 4.5 liters, and it takes only 5 seconds for a person to get a speeding ticket. In order not to let Yao Ming drive too fast, Yao Ming's mother asked the car maintenance technician to turn off two cylinders of the V8 cylinder engine.
"I don't have much choice in buying a car. First, I want to see the size of the space. Sometimes the space in my favorite car is too small, and the possibility of modification does not exist ... I can only reluctantly give up what I love. When I chose this car, I was very interested in its beautiful appearance. Most importantly, they can customize more driving space for me. " Yao Ming said that cars are older than driving. His car is loaded with the most advanced electronic systems, including GPS satellite positioning system, automatic speed navigation and emergency satellite system, as well as parking radar, MP3 player and other equipment. The mat in the car is also specially made, with the words "YAO 1 1" written on it. Yao Ming is most proud of the car chair, spacious and comfortable seats and special massage function. Tired, Yao Ming will massage while driving. "This will completely relax me." The only thing that makes Yao Ming dissatisfied with the BMW745 is the high fuel consumption. If there is a traffic jam, driving from Yao Ming's home to Toyota Center will cost almost half of the gas, and it will cost 60 dollars to fill up a tank of gas at a time.
Kobe: Modification has never been "whatever the cost"
Is the 2003 Lamborghini Murcielago like Kobe's favorite? In order to make it a real Horri-bull, Kobe also made many special changes. He specially installed 1.5 million plexiglass rear exhaust pipe for this Horri-bull, and the V 12 engine was clear at a glance. This engine has a horsepower of 580, which can accelerate 0 to 65,438+000 kilometers in 3.8 seconds. The dial made of carbon fiber and polycarbonate gives people a good understanding of the operation of this 6.2-liter V 12 engine in Horri-bull.
Kobe changed his car into an automatic so that his wife Vanessa could easily control Horri-bull. This "shift-by-wire" technology uses a thermal sensor mounted on the top of an aluminum converter. The rubber-sized sensor at the end of the pencil can automatically detect the temperature of the human body, thus controlling the clutch. "They have never done such an operation in Lamborghini, and it took two months to complete it." Kobe speaks in a tone as cool as his car.
Kobe's other car, the blue 2002 Bentley Azure, is also unique. That car is one of only 25 special Bentley sports cars in the world. The tire adopts chrome alloy McDonough LS5 inner frame and Michelin ZR20 outer tire. The unique blue airfoil "B" logo on the car body is Kobe's private logo. From customized headlights to 20-inch wide tires, Kobe's taste is obvious: all he wants is to equip the best cars in Southern California with the best accessories.
Lebron james: There are three TVs in the car.
On February 30th, 2002, 18-year-old James received a birthday present from his mother. That's a brand-new platinum Hummer H2. Although James was still a high school student at St. Mary's School in St. Vincent at that time, he had become the most popular basketball star in the United States and locked in the position of No.1 pick in the NBA in 2003.
There are three TVs in James's car, and KingJames is tattooed on the seat cushion. Six months later, lebron james signed a contract with the Cavaliers, and millions of dollars were suddenly added to his pocket. When he finished his first NBA game, Nike stuffed a contract of nearly $654.38 billion into his pocket ... Immediately, he used the money to help his mother repay the car loan of $654.38 billion.
Olney: 44 cars, running in turns every day.
When I moved from Los Angeles to Miami Heat, 40,000 dollars of all the house purchase expenses of Aopang was only used for the freight of 44 cars in Los Angeles (the average freight of each car was 65,438 dollars+0,000 dollars). "I always want to drive more than 40 cars in turn, but I can't remember which one I drove the day before ..." The smell of pride is flying all over the sky.
O 'Neill likes to "tailor-made" cars according to his own preferences and requirements. His cars include a new Hummer with Superman logo, a Ford Crown with bulletproof armor, a Mercedes-Benz convertible CLK that has been converted into a SL55 sports car, and a Ferrari with its roof cut off ... "My favorite thing is to modify my car. I hope you can pay attention to the details. When they see a Rolls Royce with super alloy wheels on the street, everyone will know who is sitting in it. " What does the Superman logo on the Hummer mean? "My favorite nicknames are Superman and Daddy Shark. It's a bit silly to carve the shark dad, so I asked them to put Superman on it. " "Big" is the primary consideration for Aopang to choose a car. Now, he has two Rolls-Royce Phantoms. "They look great! Bigness is the biggest feature of the phantom, just like me. " O 'Neill's nickname "Shark" has also become the name of a luxury station wagon in Ford, but this station wagon with a price of 50,000 dollars only sells 500 cars. "For my diehard fans, this is the best gift I can give them."
Jordan: I only drove an American car this year.
"Air Jordan" likes Ferrari best. Not long ago, on EBAY, his 1997 version of Ferrari 550Maranello was publicly auctioned. In addition to the red Ferrari, Jordan prefers to drive around in a Mercedes-Benz SL55AMG. Recently, retired Jordan got the first batch of 2006 Cadillac XLR-V from Cadillac general manager jim taylor. Taylor personally asked his subordinates to deliver the car to Jordan's house. Cadillac presents three colors: dark red, black and platinum white for the basketball king to choose from, and Jordan obviously prefers red. As a special treatment, Cadillac will give Jordan a set of aluminum side tables engraved with his signature. Jordan said that this is the first American car among his more than 40 cars.

When karl malone was still playing ball, there was a famous saying: "What happens when a car hits a parked container truck at full speed?" ? It's a pity that I am a 18 wheel container truck!

Malone takes trucks as seriously as basketball. He has a driver's license in 25 states. He said he fell in love with trucks when he was a child. "My mother opened a country shop. I always watch big trucks come in and out. I told my brother that one day, I would have my own truck. "
200 1, Malone took out $500,000 from his own pocket and cooperated with an entertainment company to hold the "Bigfoot" racing tour. His motorcade is called "karl malone Power Striker Bigfoot Team". Malone cherishes the opportunity of competition. "This kind of game is not seen every day. I'm glad to have my own Bigfoot team. This has always been my dream. "
Today, karl malone, after retirement, runs a truck cleaning center, which provides high-tech car washing and blow-drying services for local truck users, charging $25 to $65 each time. "I am living in the way I dreamed before." Malone said.
