All-Star Cars: A peek inside Kobe Bryant’s garage

Posted June 8th, 2010 in Chatter by Matt

Game 2 of the NBA Finals was a disappointment for fans of the LA Lakers.  Fortunately for Kobe Bryant, his drive home should have been anything but.

While the 103-94 loss on the home court was less welcome than a flat tire, Kobe nonetheless got to drive home in his Ferrari F430, a $300,000 sports car that can jet from 0-60 in less than four seconds and put a smile on your face in half that time.  Yowzahs.

For a guy who can afford to drive any car on the planet, the F430 makes for an interesting choice.  It’s not the most expensive Ferrari out there – but it is more focused and visceral than its exotic siblings.

We think that the choice says a lot about Kobe… as do his other rides from Land Rover, Bentley, and Cadillac.

After all, what kind of celebrity would leave a bright pink baby seat buckled into his Range Rover in full view of the paparazzi when he goes out for a date with his wife?

We sneaked a peek into the Black Mamba’s garage as part of a fun story for Fox Sports, analyzing the basketball great’s personality through the lens of his cars.  Have a look at our full report on Kobe and let us know your thoughts on the man and his cars.
