Myles Turner Gifts Kevin Porter Jr. a $300K Lamborghini in Exchange for Jersey No. 3: A Bold Move to Cement His New Era
In one of the NBA offseason’s flashiest gestures, Indiana Pacers big man Myles Turner has reportedly gifted Kevin Porter Jr. a $300,000 Lamborghini in exchange for the rights to jersey No. 3. The bold move comes as Turner prepares for a new chapter in his career and sought to reclaim the number that holds personal significance to him.
Sources close to the situation say Turner approached Porter Jr. shortly after a team shift made the number available, and rather than negotiate with cash or compromise, the veteran center pulled up in style — literally. The Lambo, a sleek matte black Aventador, was handed over to Porter Jr. as a thank-you for giving up the digit.
While jersey swaps are not uncommon in professional sports, few involve gifts of this magnitude. Turner’s extravagant token of appreciation has quickly gone viral across social media, with fans and analysts alike debating whether the number is worth the price tag — or if Turner just set a new gold standard for teammates making deals.
For Turner, the No. 3 jersey is more than a number. It’s a symbol of his identity, and as he looks to elevate his role and legacy, he’s making sure every detail — down to the digits on his back — is exactly how he wants it.
Welcome to the new era. And if you’re giving up your number? You might want to hold out for a supercar.
