Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas arrived to the Lithuanian national team practice this morning in nothing less than a beat-up 90s Audi four-door automobile.

While we're still trying to figure out how he was able to fit his 7-foot frame into such a tiny car, it's even harder to figure out why he wouldn't bring a different ride when there's clearly better ones around in the parking lot.
Valanciunas was given a four-year, $64 million deal last season, more than enough money to buy himself a better-fitting vehicle.
Perhaps it's a reminder to start humble when going back to his native Lithuania, or maybe it's the rings in the Audi logo that remind him of his Olympic hopes three years from now. Who really knows?
All that is sure is that this team will be hoping for more than just a pedestrian effort from Valanciunas after having yet another consistent season with the Raptors.
