Even yet, with Kevin Durant on the bench in street clothes—the exact same clothing he wore earlier that evening when standing with his Rolls-Royce Dawn in what could only be his driveway—the Grizzlies nearly won Game 4 in San Francisco before crushing the Warriors in Game 5.
We previously showed you Morant’s other vehicle, a Dodge Charger 392 Scat Pack, which is naturally far less expensive than a Rolls-Royce.If you read that article, you may remember that I compared the Charger’s demeanor to that of Ja’s Memphis Grizzlies squad in 2021–2022. While those comparisons are valid, I’m not in the slightest astonished that he also owns a vehicle as opulent as a Rolls-Royce Dawn. After all, a Dawn costs about $356,500, and Morant inked a 4 year, $39.6 million contract with the Grizzlies back in 2019.Redesigned in 2015, the Dawn shares the same platform as the Ghost and is the replacement for the Phantom Drophead Coupe. Not only that, but it’s one of the two Rolls-Royce cars that still use BMW architecture.A 6.6-liter V12 twin-turbo engine generates 563 horsepower (571 ps) and 605 lb-ft (820 Nm) of torque in the “regular” model and 593 horsepower (601 ps) and 620 lb-ft (841 Nm) in the Black Badge edition. With this opulent convertible, you can reach 60 mph in less than 5 seconds while maintaining the smoothest possible ride. For someone who always gives it their all on the basketball floor, this is the ideal vehicle.This Friday at 10:00 p.m. ET, the Grizzlies, led by Jared Dudley, will resume their season against the Golden State Warriors and Steph Curry in an attempt to force a Game 7.Nor is this the first time one of Ja’s rides has been forced to carry the equivalent of a point guard in the NBA. He had also stepped on the hood of his Mercedes-Benz Sprinter a few years prior. Whoa.
Ja, we know you’re the most entertaining guard in the league right now and we adore your game, but we can’t help but imagine that hood crumpling.
Not to be hateful again. He paid good, hard-earned NBA money for these cars as they are his own. If he so chooses, he can leap up and down on the roof. Yes, it is heartbreaking to consider what his automobiles are going through here.
