We’ve all heard the saying that “so-and-so from this league is the so-and-so of the NBA”. Which IndyCar drivers are best represented by which NBA players?
For each full-time IndyCar driver on this list, an NBA player comparison is provided. This list takes into account things like winning races, championships, NBA MVP awards, Indy 500’s, etc. to compare IndyCar drivers with their NBA “equivalent”. This list is subjective and in no way official; these drivers have no association with these players.
Just a fair warning, some of these explanations get more in-depth than others.
We’ll start off with the smaller teams and work our way to the larger teams.
