and the rear passengers are going to watch what? one in the center console? rebuild the seat backs so they motorize out like the Maybach? Not like it hasn't been done before, but a completely integrated headrest is far superior than any of those locations or even a portable unit which becomes a missile hazard during heavy breaking/accelerating or an accident.

Sports is an entertainment business. If the owners weren't making money they would NOT pay the athletes so handsomely... The athletes are the draw so why shouldn't they be compensated? The salaries are obscene when compared to the average joe but we can all go apply for Lebron's job assuming we have that talent. I know I don't unfortunately....

Nah, the Maybach is ancient-tech compared to the W221 S. As for comfort, if I'm being driven I'd sooner go in a Rolls

he has a rolls also, but the room in the back is no where near the Maybach, and to be completely honest the Rolls is plain jane with nothing as elaborate as the Maybach. And the Maybach would spank the Rolls in a luxury motor shoot out

"spank,"... legroom in the 62 I'l grant you but reviews and consumer feedback suggest quite the opposite to the Maybach delivering the spanking.

The Rolls is the same platform as the 760 BMW, which I had as a shop demo vehicle, and it was no where as fast as a Maybach, nor was it comfortable, nor was it as reliable 
And the Phantom... crap, no room in it compare to the maybach, rear seat sits up way too straight, the ghetto floor foot rests... seriously do you even know what you are talking about?

Wow did you reall y just blame the economy on basketball players getting paid X amount of millions? 
First of all they get paid the money they do because they can do what probably 99.5% of the members on this forum cant do. Secondly, they entertain a massive audience of people, of course they should get paid that amount for what they do. Do some get paid more than they deserve, yes of course, but so do some CEOs, Managers and other workers. How bout instead of saying hes this and that, why dont you get a talent as rare and as good as his and use it to make 100 million dollars? Some of you people are massive haters, the guy is a class act and has done more for the city of cleveland than the past few mayors that city has had. Cleveland was a joke before he showed up, he gives kids in that city hope, and an actual role model instea of Bones thugs, or drew carey the only other thing cleveland is known for.

Its their CHOICE. I might not necessarily agree with King James style in mods and I would almost never put a personalized plate on my car but each to their own right? These jealousy and animosity will lead to only more conflicts and i think a lot of people here agree that we dont really need that anymore these days

from just looking at a quick comparison of 2007 vehicles on ebay motors (rolls and base maybach) it looks like the rolls depreciated 33% vs 15% the maybach did... survey says.... Maybach!

Nice rides! I put money that any of you would drive those exact cars if you got them off a 9 digit salary. And too all the haters out there, athletes do work hard to get to the pros and they also bust their *** to play games weekly for our enjoyment. They put fans in the seats, provide entertainment, and make money for everyone. A few of my SC friends just got drafted to the NFL, and if you knew how hard they worked to get there, you wouldn't hate on their cars or salary. The funny thing is, one of them just bought an S63 all white as well
Anyway, I'll finish it short and sweet:
Don't hate the player, hate the game
I think haterz are worse than posers, just my 2 cents
