Jonas Valanciunas is a professional basketball player for the Toronto Raptors who makes roughly $15 million a year. So why does he drive this?!

Yes, this is a seven-foot center driving a beat up Audi, reportedly from 1992.

This is the car the 25-year-old Lithuanian pulled up in while arriving to national team camp on Friday. The move has probably made him more famous on social than any moment he’s provided on the court.

Valanciunas averaged 12 points and nine boards per game last season. If he jumps to 15 points and 10 boards the Raptors will award him with this.
