NBA player Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks has added a Tesla Cybertruck to his growing collection of luxury vehicles, showcasing his latest purchase on social media.
The basketball star, known for his nickname “Ice Trae,” customized the Cybertruck with a distinctive cold blue wrap, a nod to his persona.
Young, who boasts a lucrative contract with the Hawks, shared photos of his new acquisition on Instagram with the caption: “Sometimes you gotta pop up,” accompanied by a heart emoji and a snowflake, referencing his moniker.

Despite his enthusiasm, the Cybertruck drew mixed reactions from Young’s followers, with some criticizing its design as “ugly.” However, with a substantial salary and endorsements, the cost of the Tesla is deemed negligible for the NBA standout.
The Cybertruck joins Young’s extensive collection, which includes high-performance vehicles like the Audi R8 V10, McLaren 720 S, and Lamborghini Aventador.
Each addition reflects his affinity for luxury and speed, underlined by his previous experiences, such as finding his Audi R8 filled with popcorn by teammates.
