When Kristaps Porzingis inked an extension with the Boston Celtics in the 2023 offseason, punching a ticket to the NBA Finals was the only goal. The deal put the Latvian big man in the best position to compete for a title in his career. From a practical standpoint, though, this created a new challenge. Porzingis is an avid car enthusiast, so a few luxury cars from his collection would have to ship up to Boston with him.
As a young man, he dreamed of Bugattis and other supercars. With time, however, Porzingis’ tastes shifted from the flamboyant to the refined. And for many, no car company does elegance quite like Mercedes-Benz. Four unique Mercedes have landed in the Hub with Porzingis, and each is more special than the last.
Porzingis spoke to Celtics Wire about his Mercedes collection, showing off his cars with pride at his Boston home. He explained the deep connection he feels to each vehicle and why the Mercedes badge specifically means so much to him.
