He might be the only NBA player who walks to work, and I have to admit it makes me like the guy a lot.

As Andrew Lawrence writes in Sports Illustrated, the Raptor Bonner (who complains about the $2 for extra chicken at Subway) does it to save money.

Toronto forward Matt Bonner, a spendthrift in a world of frequent excess, has put off investing in a set of wheels. The car-less Bonner, 25, prefers to get around Toronto by streetcars, the subway or his own size 16 feet. Fans and teammates call the 6'10" Bonner "the Red Rocket" -- the nickname of the city's streetcar system. "I'd rather buy something that appreciates in value than something that loses half of it when you drive it off the lot," says Bonner, who majored in business at Florida.

If Bonner played for Phoenix, he could get an eco-friendly and affordable ride to work in a Hummer--because as SI reports, the Phoenix Gorilla, in full costume, straps on a harness and tows an H2 around the streets as part of his fitness regime. Takes 20 minutes to go 3/4 of a mile, but the guy in the costume is 41 so you can hardly complain at this point.
