Stupidly Expensive Things NBA Legends Own

and you can't get much more legendary than nba finals moments so first up j.r smith yeah because once he secured a bag for over 20 million dollars this man copped a 500 000 armored military vehicle it looked like it came straight out of gta heist this pterodyne gurkha is built with indestructible tires bulletproof glass an armor that can survive 50 cal shots and rpgs like who the hell is jr beefing with man russia well at least he's protected i mean this thing's literally marketed as an suv that could survive anything even a zombie apocalypse and yet that's just one of the stupidly expensive things nba legends own 4 million dollar shoes 10 million dollar cars a hundred million dollar yachts and don't even get me started on what michael jordan bought but first let's talk about lebron's secret million dollar hobby because recently news broke that one of lebron's rookie cards sold for a world record over 5 million dollars and with there only being 23 of the cards in the entire world you'd think they'd be hard to find but lebron flexed on everybody twice i have uh two rookie cars of my own so i'll be good for a very very long time damn so if red's got millions of dollars in just basketball cards what else is he blowing a bag on well lebron might have a 10 million dollar car collection and 20 million dollar mansions but his jewelry collection costs more than that combined lately lebron's been leveling up his eyes to the point where i think he's hanging around rappers a little too much because he made sure every single part of his body was studded in diamonds recently tmz exposed one of lebron's new masterpieces a lion gatekeeper pennant covered in 14 karat gold 35 carat diamonds and the craziest part is the lion's eyes actually light up but come on now only 15 bands lebron's got chains only kings can afford and i think him and drake might have a little secret because cameras caught lebron repping ovo with a new and twenty thousand dollar chain so something tells me them to spend time together in the stew i say uh subscribe to flex cause drake's known to gift chains to people he works with and i mean we already saw lebron cooking up with two chains and guess what he ended up handing lebron a diamond chain courtside but hey me and lebron go way back so i already knew about his crazy neck game and once i saw what he put in his mouth got wet because this man flooded his grill like no other nba player twice his first piece is one of the most unique girls i've ever seen man just look at this 11 diamond studded teeth custom lion and crown logos and a purple opal god damn but we all know lebron man he loves attention more than any girl i know so once he went viral he copped another diamond grill this one fills in the gaps of his top teeth and completely covers his bottom teeth looking like something only quavo would wear but between lebron's chains and grills that's only hundreds of thousands of dollars his watches are on a whole new level hundred thousand dollar rollies three hundred thousand dollar paddocks 750 000 richard mills lebron's got watches that are beyond exclusive including one of the rarest timepieces in the world a black panther ap that cost 5 million but you want to know what's crazy his most legendary watch costs even more here in 2022 lebron went more viral than the super bowl because he was spotted rocking the most hyped watch on the entire planet this paddock is something only legends can own there's a reason only people like jay-z leonardo dicaprio and mark wahlberg have all been caught wearing one cause nowadays this watch is worth over six and a half million dollars so with this watch and the rest of lebron's jewelry his collection costs over 20 million dollars but even that ain't as crazy as dwyane wade's purchases cause his need 24 7 armed security wade's known for his garage being filled with lambos raris and mclarens but recently he treated himself to a birthday present one of the rarest cars in the world a mercedes maybach s580 and from the outside i mean it doesn't look like anything too crazy but wade's version is exclusive the seats the dash the entire interior is completely made out of basketball leather like bruh if this doesn't say wade mrs hoopin i don't know what does but i'm sure he keeps this 200k whip close by because whenever he's stepping out his favorite pair of shoes cost him 20 times that yeah if you thought dropping 200 on jordan's was a lot try four million dollars cause recently wade got a one-of-one pair of his own shoes the leaning way of wade fours and they're covered in diamonds sapphires and 18 karat gold the shoe's colorway and flower pattern represents the chinese new year and because they're one of the most expensive shoes in the entire world the one time wade let them out their cage he knew they needed protection so he hired armed security so these shoes are definitely one of his most prized possessions but at least wade's million dollar purchases didn't almost ruin his life like stephen curry's see curry doesn't just have love for basketball he's got a need for speed and ever since curry started making dumb money he's cops stupidly expensive cars custom range rovers g-wagons whatever this is and even though he starred in infinity commercials nothing's ever topped his love for porsches cause curry owns 175 000 porsche 911 turbo with a top speed of 193 miles an hour and he also copped an all black porsche panamera for 180 k but the price tag wasn't the expensive part this car almost cost curry his life in 2018 curry hopped on the highway to see what this porsche was made of but out of nowhere the rain hit now a race car driver like steph was prepared for this and stayed in his own lane but his fate wasn't in his hands and out of nowhere a white lexus slammed in the staff and sent him into the guardrail now trapped in his car in the middle of the freeway scared for his life another car rear-ended him when police showed up luckily steph was still breathing and what's even crazier is he didn't have a single scratch on his entire body now his car wasn't so lucky and was completely totaled but steph knew his survival was a miracle so there was only two things curry could do send out a tweet thanking god that he was still alive and well spend some millions curry didn't want to give up his love for driving fast cars but living 20 minutes away from the chase center it meant that he had to drive in busy traffic every single game day so one day he woke up and realized he needed a new crib curry walked up in a four seasons and said hey hey top floor condo please i need something to match my jersey number and with that curry copped himself a condo on the 30th floor for 8 million dollars just so he could be 5 minutes away from the stadium instead of 25 10. curry's really bowling on and off the court but shaq has the most legendary car collection of any nba player ever he's got lambos ferraris slingshots dude's really so bored with his money he's copping cars straight out of movies cause shaq bought the exact cadillac eldorado from scarface but don't even get me started on his custom cars man we're talking about a dude who's got an escalade with scissor style doors and shaq must take fast and furious a little too seriously he stepped up his game for his 50th birthday copying a dodge hellcat with a splattered paint job this thing's insane but not all of shaq's cars came from happy times recently he bought one after the biggest tragedy of his life as we all know kobe's passing devastated the entire world but nobody was more heartbroken than shaq these two are more than just teammates they were brothers and after news broke of the tragedy shaq knew there was only one thing he could do to make sure no matter where he goes kobe is always in his presence shaq copped a 455 thousand dollar rolls royce and got it customized with kobe's face as well as a snake representing the black mamba gotta respect shaq for that but now that we talked about driving millions of dollars wearing millions of dollars and living in millions of dollars what about floating on millions of dollars well michael jordan knows a thing or three about that see when mj ain't rocking million dollar watches driving two million dollar bugattis or playing at his 15 million dollar golf course he's riding around his hundred million dollar yachts and what's funny is mj completely hated his first yacht he literally nicknamed it mr terrible and even though it cost 21 million dollars he just had to upgrade his new masterpiece is a super yacht it's 230 feet long has eight cabins a jacuzzi a gym and a full-sized basketball court wait so he's really the go to basketball on the court and in the water man mj's build different not only is this 80 million dollar boat damn near a house on the water it's the most expensive yacht that any nba legend owns now this might help mj get from island to island when michael's gotta travel from country to country he can't always just hop on his yacht and float there instead he can float on a purchase that cost him 61 million mj's gulfstream g550 private jets exclusive it's got his initials jersey numbers and logo on the side just so you know yeah mj's really living like that at first jordan painted in his north carolina blue but eventually he switched it up to match his camo shoes on the inside the jet's got a full bar dining area his own cigar station and of course tvs because you know mj subscribed to who flicks yeah and ain't you trying to be like the goat subscribe but for real even though mj's purchases are legendary what if i told you one legend's 200 million dollar spending spree ruined his life alan iverson came into the nba and completely changed the game not only was he getting attention for his play he'd also transformed the league's culture single-handedly tying rap and basketball together this appearance was one thing sideways hats do-rags baggy clothes but that was the problem looking like a rapper forced him to live like one and it nearly cost him everything iverson started inking deals worth tens of millions of dollars the type of money an inner city kid like himself could only dream of so he started living every day like the money would last forever he blew money on custom cars like maybachs bentleys and lambos one night he even forgot where he parked his car so he just bought a new one but that was just the beginning every single month he would spend tens of thousands of dollars on drip allen's bank account was quickly starting to drain it got to the point where even when he was traveling from city to city he never packed luggage instead he'd just buy all new outfits and if you include the money that he was spending on his family and friends his monthly expenses racked up over a hundred fifty thousand dollars but to a millionaire like iverson he was unfazed so the stupidly expensive spending sprees never stopped despite his 200 million dollar contracts he was secretly blowing more money than he could handle iverson loved to party and he was constantly spotted in or around philadelphia's hot spots and it was rumored that whenever he showed up to a club in one night he'd spend over 40 thousand dollars his problem got so bad he started lying to his family about how much he was spending and iverson's problems only got worse once he started gambling that's when things turned into a crisis sometimes in a single night iverson would gamble a million dollars and once iverson realized that every day his bank account kept draining he damn near lost his mind he'd take money out the bank stash them in garbage bags store them all around his mansion just so he could keep an eye on it but hanging around dozens of leeches and his entourage sometimes a bag or two would go missing and one day 500 thousand dollars of iverson's jewelry was stolen iverson was quickly heading towards rock bottom so he drank and gambled the pain away but see the public didn't know the extent of his downfall till his marriage completely fell apart and during his divorce hearing he just couldn't take it anymore iverson stood up in front of everybody and admitted i don't even have money for a cheeseburger see iverson owed jewelers over nine hundred thousand dollars and his four million dollar mansion went into foreclosure so he had no choice but to file for bankruptcy but iverson's lucky man reebok saw this coming decades ago they saw how fast he'd become a worldwide phenomenon but also how fast he blew his money so when they offered him his own shoe deal they slipped a hidden agreement in his contract it sounds sketchy but it was only to save iverson from himself the deal allowed reebok to pay out the money eight hundred thousand dollars per year rather than all at once and 32 million dollars will be released to him when he's 53 so let's just hope iverson learned his lesson and to be honest some stars in the nba today need to learn a thing or two about iverson's mistakes cause john moran jason tatum and lamello ball have all been spending millions there's even a player who spent 10 million just to annoy michael jordan another player bought something that has him facing 20 years in jail and i know you want to hear more about that so just click this video right here you
