When you’ve to lead a team to victory as many times as Shaq has, you need to treat yourself to a surprise. During his initial tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers, Shaq was one of the highest-paid players in the NBA. He would often be seen driving his Superman edition Mercedes Benz S500. This generation of the car was notoriously well built and had a lot of luxury features that a basketball player would look for. After being sore from playing a long championship game the S500 had heated and cooled seating complete with arch support.

The 5.0 L V8 delivered a respectable 302 Horsepower back before carmakers were investing heavily in horsepower ratings. The interior of the S500 had real wood trim in addition to the high-quality Mercedes leather that you’d expect. Overall, the S500 was one of the top luxury cars for an NBA player.
