Dwyane Wade’s blue Escalade

I think these photos are pretty old, but they are awesome. Here’s Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade and his bright blue Cadillac Escalade:

I found a few of these on this crazy Chinese site. The last one seems really strange.

Kobe’s black Lamborghini Aventador

The Black Mamba just dished out $75 million to his ex-wife Vanessa, but the divorce didn’t stop him from showing up to the Staples Center in this flat black Lamborghini Aventador. 

Estimated price on this ride: about $380,000. Chump change for a guy who makes $21 million a year from basketball alone.

These Rolls Royce Phantoms appear to be pretty popular among pro basketball players (we showed you Shaq’s similar ride a few weeks ago). Here are a few photo’s of Denver Nugget’s center Al Harrington’s Phantom:

Alex Ovechkin’s rare Mercedes-Benz SL65

Hockey star Alexander Ovechkin seems to be quite proud of this slick matte black Mercedes-Benz SL65. The price tag is reportedly around $250k and only a few hundred were produced.

Nice license plate: AO GR8. No ego here at all…

Ovechkin was also recently called out by Deadspin for parking like this:

Asked how he got ahold of the limited edition car, Ovechkin replied, ”because I’m Ovie.”  Athlete Rides

Ahman Green’s Nebraska Dodge Charger

We’re hopping in the NFL time machine for this one. Ahman Green once had a few monster seasons for the Packers at running back in the early 2000s. Here are some photos of his Nebraska-themed Dodge Charger. I’ve not sure I’ve seen anyone put their signature on their own car, but that’s what he appears to have done here. Ego anyone?

And a video of him showing it off:

LeBron’s white Camaro

We showed you Kevin Durant’s Camaro on Wednesday. Here’s a similar ride owned by none other thank King James himself. Photos:

And, here’s a video of some people mobbing LeBron at a mall. You can see him getting into the car toward the end:

The question is: whose Chevy do you like better? Athlete Rides
