J.R. Smith recently signed a 3-year extension with the New York Knicks worth $17 million dollars. Smith got a lot of the money from that deal up front and used about $500,000 of it to buy an armored truck.
The New York Post has more:
NBA star J.R. Smith spent some of the $24 million he scored in a four-year deal with the New York Knicks on a flashy new armored truck. Smith, who’s recovering after surgery on his left knee in the off-season, rolled up to Meatpacking District restaurant Catch on Thursday night in a Gurkha F5, which is made by Toronto-based Terradyne Armored Vehicles and used by police and the military. Smith parked the oversize truck, worth about $450,000, on the street while he dined inside.
