Dec. 26 (UPI) -- Big Baller Brand ambassadors Lonzo Ball and LaVar Ball made a luxurious addition to their garage on Monday.

The Los Angeles Lakers rookie bought dad a Rolls-Royce Dawn convertible. The posh vehicle retails for about $343,000, according to Car and Driver. It maxes out at 155 mph and goes from 0 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds. The Dawn has 563 horsepower.

"This is how we roll. Big Baller style," LaVar said in the footage, which was filmed by LiAngelo Ball.

LaVar also took a second to put the top down.

"A Big Baller Christmas...@zo always being there for the fam #familyalwaysmatters," the Big Baller Brand wrote on social media.

Fellow Lakers rookie Kyle Kuzma commented on the posts, writing: "That's rough."

Ball's Lakers lost 121-104 on Monday to the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Staples Center. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft sat out for that contest as he is dealing with a left shoulder sprain. Lonzo is averaging 10 points and 7.1 rebounds per game this season.

The rookie point guard is making $6.2 million this season.

Still, $350,000 is a lot of ZO2 sneaker sales. You would have to sell at least 629 pairs of Lonzo's signature kicks to pay for the Rolls-Royce.
