As the riveting 2014 NBA Finals revs to its conclusion, we pause between games to take a look at some of the title contenders for pro basketball players’ rides.
Even the plain and flavor-free Tim Duncan (above) has an automotive palate — along with the deep pockets — to express himself through his wondrous whips, including the vintage 1968 Chevrolet Camaro, Nissan GT-R, and the classic 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air.
Duncan and his Spurs are taking on the Miami Heat in the championship series, where their players, not surprisingly, tend to flex a lot more flamboyantly, as you can see below with the most unique ride sported by (who else?) Chris “Birdman” Andersen.
As we anxiously await the conclusion of the clash between the NBA titans Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs — again — let’s gloss over the ultra-expensive and championship level rides of NBA players.
