✍️ Written by: Tamás  📅 Date: Jan 2026 

Basketball isn't just a sport in the United States; it's a financial juggernaut. With the NBA generating upwards of $10 billion in annual revenue, the league is a factory for international icons and instant millionaires. As contracts skyrocket, young athletes are increasingly looking for ways to enjoy their wealth. While some invest in mansions or jewelry, for many, the ultimate status symbol is parked in the garage.

From custom-built classics to million-dollar hypercars, here are 9 NBA stars and the incredible machines they drive.

9. Chris Paul: 1977 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Since being drafted in 2005, Chris Paul has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest point guards in history. While he has played for the Hornets, Clippers, Rockets, and Suns, his taste in cars remains timeless. Unlike many who chase the latest exotics, "CP3" is a devotee of American classics.

His prize possession is a 1977 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. To bring it into the 21st century, he commissioned Dreamworks Motorsports in North Carolina to transform it into a high-end restomod. The result is a sleek, powerful beast that maintains its vintage soul while offering modern performance.

8. Derrick Rose: Bugatti Veyron

Derrick Rose's career is a story of resilience. After becoming the youngest MVP in history with the Chicago Bulls, he battled devastating injuries to reinvent himself as a vital veteran for teams like the Knicks and Timberwolves.

With over $150 million in career earnings, Rose treated himself to the pinnacle of automotive engineering: the Bugatti Veyron. Launched with a $1.3 million price tag, the Veyron isn't just a car; it's a statement of speed and luxury that remains one of the most prestigious "investments" in any athlete's collection. 

7. Giannis Antetokounmpo: BMW i8

The "Greek Freak" has come a long way from his humble beginnings in Athens. A two-time MVP and NBA Champion, Giannis is now one of the highest-paid athletes on the planet after signing a $228 million extension with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Despite his massive wealth, Giannis often chooses style and innovation over raw muscle. He is frequently seen cruising in his BMW i8. With its futuristic dihedral doors and hybrid powertrain, the i8 matches the forward-thinking and unique nature of Giannis's own game.

6. Ja Morant: Rolls-Royce Dawn

Ja Morant took the league by storm, winning Rookie of the Year in 2020 and quickly joining the elite ranks of high-scoring guards. After signing a five-year extension worth $193 million with the Memphis Grizzlies, the young superstar decided to embrace the "Black Badge" lifestyle.

Morant has frequently showcased his Rolls-Royce Dawn on social media. It is a ultra-luxury convertible that represents the peak of open-top motoring—a fitting reward for a player whose career is currently on a vertical trajectory.

5. Kyrie Irving: Lamborghini SV Roadster

Kyrie Irving is as famous for his wizardry with a basketball as he is for his headlines off the court. An NBA Champion with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Irving's journey has taken him through Boston and Brooklyn.

His choice of transport is as sharp as his crossover: a Lamborghini Aventador SV Roadster. However, with various controversies and contract options looming over his time in the league, fans have often wondered if the flashy supercar might eventually hit the market if his tenure with certain teams remains uncertain.

4. Kawhi Leonard: Rolls-Royce Cullinan

Kawhi Leonard is known for two things: being a "dynasty killer" on the court and being incredibly frugal off it. For years, the multi-time champion and Defensive Player of the Year famously drove a 1997 Chevy Tahoe that he had since high school, even after signing a $94 million contract.

Eventually, "The Klaw" decided it was time for an upgrade. He traded the old Tahoe for the ultimate luxury SUV: the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. True to his low-key personality, Kawhi has kept the vehicle in its original, elegant condition without flashy aftermarket modifications.

3. Stephen Curry: Porsche 911 GT3 RS

The man who changed basketball forever with the three-point shot also has a need for precision on the road. Steph Curry has won four titles and two MVPs, making him the face of the Golden State Warriors.

After walking away unhurt from a crash in his Porsche Panamera in 2018, Curry didn't shy away from the brand. His garage houses a monstrous Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Valued at nearly $190,000, it is a track-ready weapon that mirrors Curry's own surgical accuracy on the court.

2. LaMelo Ball: Lamborghini Urus

The Ball family has never been afraid of the spotlight, and LaMelo is no exception. The 2021 Rookie of the Year has quickly become the franchise cornerstone for the Charlotte Hornets, and his car collection is just as loud as his game.

LaMelo's most famous ride is his Lamborghini Urus, which features a "tennis ball" yellow widebody kit. It is bright, aggressive, and impossible to miss—perfectly reflecting the flashy "Big Baller" energy that LaMelo brings to every arena he enters.

1. James Harden: Rolls-Royce Wraith

"The Beard" is one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history and has the bank account to prove it. Between a massive Adidas deal and record-breaking NBA extensions, James Harden has curated a top-tier collection of luxury goods.

The standout in his fleet is a two-tone Rolls-Royce Wraith. In a nod to his legendary years with the Houston Rockets, the car features a custom red and black paint job. Despite his moves to Brooklyn and Philadelphia, the Wraith remains a crown jewel of his collection, blending classic British luxury with his personal history in the game.
