You don't need much in the way of "basketball equipment", other than a uniform(shirt, shorts, sneakers, socks)and a basketball. How much space can those take up? It's not like football, where you have to have all this protective gear, like pads and a helmet. I guess I associate mini vans with "soccer mom" types, hauling bunches of kids around to various functions, and going shopping, and needing space for the baby seat. Those aren't the vehicles you normally see jocks or even semi-jocks ride around in...at least until they get married and wind up with a bunch of kids. My Art students have been working on designing "ad", of the sort that you see in magazines, and one of their options is to design an ad for a new vehicle. One of the things they have to know is the "target audience", what demographic is most likely to buy this particular vehicle, and design their ads to appeal mostly to that group. We have discussed the different groups who would be most likely to buy a minivan, a sports car, a 4x4 pickup or SUV, a luxury sedan, or one of those small, fuel-economic boxes on wheels. We were all pretty much unanimous in thinking that mini vans best suited families, especially ones with babies, who needed to be able to easily get to the baby seat in the back. Given his typical single male sportsfan demeanor, if Wilt did need a lot of space for something, he'd probably prefer a SUV, but he's also the competitive type, so if he went for something new and modern, it would probably also be something fast, designed for performance, even if it meant putting up with some inconvenient discomfort when it came to actually fitting those long legs of his in the car!
