Carmelo Anthony’s Old Car | 1971 Chevelle

Carmelo Anthony must feel at home with the New York Knicks. He is back on the east coast where he is from as you can see from his black 1971 Chevelle. The entire car is a tribute to his hometown of Baltimore, MD.

It is a small block 350 with Air Conditioning, Automatic Transmission, Cowl Induction Hood and Front Disc Brakes. Painted in the Baltimore Orioles colors with logos.  The stripes are an alligator skin pattern for lack of a better description. The interior is Black with Orange stitching and a custom Rockford Fosgate Stereo with Carmelo’s Initials.

This car was obviously done before he got any NBA money and it is not that nice. This car is currently for sale and the proceeds will go to charity. The winning bidder will also get a signed autograph jersey from Melo – hope its not a Nuggets jersey, that wont be worth much.

CJ Watson’s 2008 GMC Denali

Here is C.J. Watson, the speedy back up point guard of the Chicago Bulls standing in front of his 2008 GMC Denali. You might have heard his name in the news recently for dating Floyd Mayweather’s girl Josie Harris. But we are here to talk about his car and only his car. He had all the customization done over at California Wheels in San Jose while he was playing with the Golden State Warriors.

The wheels are all black 2-piece 24″ Giannelle Barcelonas on 285/40/24 Toyo Tires. The vehicle was lowered 3″. The grille was painted black to match the wheels. It also has custom made headlights with HID kit and Halos. Great choice on the 2-piece wheels because they are a lot less likely to bend than the 3-piece wheels, especially on a heavy SUV like this. The tires are not too low profile, so that also helps protect the rims. The color is really boring, would have loved to see it be converted to a matte paint job.

I feel like this customization is incomplete. If your going to paint the grille and the wheels all black, why would you leave all the chrome molding?

Stephen Curry’s Car | Mercedes G55


One of the best scorers in college basketball history, Stephen Curry now plays for the Golden State Warriors. While many people had questions about his size and wether or not his skills would translate to the next level, he proved them all wrong. He is one of the best young guards in the NBA. Here he is standing infront of his customized 2009 Mercedes Benz G55 from California Wheels in San Jose.

The wheels are 24″ chrome and black Modular Society wheels with a custom Mercedes center cap. The tire size they went with was 350/35/24 all around. Some other extras include custom LED tail lights, custom LED blinkers, custom chrome cages, window tint, and smoked lights. The head rests also have “SC30” stiched into them.

The car looks great, nothing but black and chrome all over the car. Great fitment with 35 series tires on the 24s, he wont be bending his wheels every week.

Lebron James New Car | White Camaro SS

Lebron James just picked up a new car to add to his fleet of cars in Miami. This time he picked up an all white 2010 Camaro SS. The car is completely white except for the gloss black emblem, the tinted windows, and a thin black pinstripe racing stripes.

I like the idea of going all white on a Camaro, I have never seen it done before. The all white multi spoke wheels also look good on this car. I love the staggered lips on the wheels. The only problem I have is with the racing stripe outlines. I don’t think it adds anything to the car and it just looks awkward.

The King definitely has good taste in his cars and this is no exception.

Lebron James New Orange Jeep Wrangler

Although the Miami Heat have been struggling in the early part of the NBA season, it should just be a matter of time before they start dominating. In the mean time, it seems like Lebron is having a lot of fun in Miami.

Here you can see him in his custom painted burnt orange Jeep Wrangler. It is a 4 door Jeep that is raised just the right amount. All the windows are tinted pitch black and it is sitting on gloss black custom off road wheels.

This Jeep is a very fun car to have in your fleet, especially in Miami. I love the color of the car, the custom wheels, and the stance of the car.

Tony Parker | Flat Black Escalade

Platinum Motorsports has done it again with this matte black beast. This time it is for San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker with this flat black Cadillac Escalade on 24s.

The wheels are 24″ flat black Agetros that are a perfect fitment for this car. It is wrapped around 305/35/24 Pirelli tires. This is much better than the 25 series tires a lot of people put on Escalades with 24s. I also love the number “9” custom center caps on the wheels.

With all the trade rumors out there, Tony Parker will fit in quite nicely in the player garage with this car – wether it be in New York with the Knicks or if he stays in San Antonio.

Al Jefferson’s Chevy Donk

Al Jefferson just got traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Utah Jazz and his comments were, “I go from being in a Toyota to a Bentley. It’s a beautiful thing.”  Maybe now that he is with the Jazz, he can step up his car game and actually get a Bentley.

Shown here is his 1986 Chevy Donk complete with chrome wheels, two-tone custom interior , custom maroon paint, white vinyl top, and the lowest profile tires I have ever seen. It also has “Big Al” stitched on the side of the seats! The only thing I like about this car is the way the doors open up like a Rolls Royce Phantom.

Hopefully with the change in teams, Al will change up his cars and move up to something a little nicer.

Carlos Boozer – White Maybach

Carlos Boozer goes back to back on our website with another white luxury car. This time it is the very luxurious Maybach.  It is staggered on 24″ Forgiato Aresto wheels. These wheels are a great choice because of the full face design.

Boozer went to The Auto Firm in Miami to get his car customized. With as often as this guy is in Miami and with Millsap playing like a beast, I have a feeling his time in Utah is nearing an end.

Carlos might not have the prettiest game but he has some good looking whips.

Carlos Boozer’s Gran Turismo

Carlos Boozer of the Utah Jazz made a lot of money by getting out of Cleveland and signing with the Jazz. He is putting all that money to good use with some bad ass cars. We showed you his Ferrari in an earlier post and now here is his white 2010 Maserati Gran Turismo with 22″ Forgiato Concavo wheels with custom Maserati Center Caps.

I always thought the grille on the Gran Turismo was perfect and should never be touched but the boys at The Auto Firm in Miami added a cool effect to the front grille. Painted the whole grille black and painted the maserati emblem white to match the car.

The whole car has a white and black theme and it really works. I am also really feeling the all white lip.

Andrew Bynum’s New Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

Andrew Bynum has done it again! No, not another championship for the Lakers but another bad ass car. This time he took his 2010 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano to CEC and had them tune it. They also threw on a set of Carbon Fiber Forgiato Maglia wheels. 22×9 in the front with a 3″ lip and 22×12 in the rear with a 4″ lip.

I wish I had a video clip of this car because you need to hear how good it sounds, unbelievable.

It just doesnt get much better than this. First car ever to get a perfect score on our website!
