Fans ridicule White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. for covering his Lamborghini in Naruto art

Luis Robert, a star outfielder for the Chicago White Sox, recently displayed his passion for Naruto by wrapping his Lamborghini Aventador SVJ in anime-inspired graphics.

The orange and yellow wrap, created by Miami's Alex Vega of Auto Firm, displays the main characters Naruto and Sasuke on the hood and Minato and Madara at the doors. The wrap reportedly cost $10,000, nothing compared to the supercar's original price of well over $500,000.
