The point guard was spotted showing off his ridiculous ride as he was leaving the American Airlines Centre and stopped to give out autographs to the excited fans.

Luka isn't a stranger to attention being regarded as one of the best European players and his choice of car is a head-turner too.
The basketball player is believed to have splashed around £200,000 on the 6-wheeled monster - but with a £170 million contract, the world is your oyster.
The hulking truck is a take on the classic Jeep Gladiator with significant modifications that completely transformed its look.

The extreme off-roader is a brainchild of Apocalypse Manufacturing, based in Pampano Beach Florida, and is responsible for a series of doom-prepared vehicles.
The Hellfire looks as fierce as it sounds - boasting an all-black Kevlar armour to protect it from road grime, acid rain and any other elements.
The jeep appears to be prepared for any apocalypse scenario as it's equipped with an extra axle and a quarter-inch thick steel rear bumper with a hitch that allows 12,000 pounds of towing.
The running boards are power-activated while the red LED lights only add to the hellish appearance.

This absolute beast has undergone significant suspension modification, including a raise, stronger springs, larger axles, and 40-inch off-road tyres.
The last touch to the construction is a roll-up, slant-back cover over the truck bed, which could theoretically make this an SUV.
The manufacturer added over two feet to the original truck, extending it to 20.5 feet bumper-to-bumper.
Modifications
The car specifications are as impressive as the exterior - with multiple engine options on offer.
The standard Corvette LS V-8 produces 495 horsepower paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
But there is an upgrade to a mighty 850 horsepower Hellcat engine which easily goes from 0 to 60 in a matter of only 3.7 seconds.
The old-fashioned car connoisseurs who prefer manual would be disappointed to learn that no such option is offered on this model.
The manufacturer feared that the powerful engines combined with the six-wheel drive configuration would burn up the clutches.
The interior of the monster truck could rival high-end European sedans, flaunting a hand-stitched leather cabin, premium audio system and digital gauge cluster.
The 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system supports Apple Car Play while the roof-mounted infrared camera offers a 360-degree view.
If that's not enough, there is a rear-view camera for extra support and insurance.
The spacious truck can comfortably seat five adults with plenty of storage space left.
The truck bed also stores spare tyres and can be customised to transport extra fuel, a water tank or even a JetSki to launch it to a lake straight from the back of the car.
As scary as it looks, the Hellfire has the potential to be a car for exploring nature.

The truck bed doors are removable for that reason, and the extra space is perfect to fit camping or fishing equipment while the vehicle can drive on any terrain.
The price point for the Hellfire starts at around £122,000 and goes up to a quarter of a million.
