(Newser) – Macky Dancy has a deal for you, if you're a millionaire athlete with $200,000 to drop on an upscale ride, the New York Times reports. The 31-year-old salesman, based on Long Island, has delivered Rolls Royces and Lamborghinis to athletes like Allen Iverson and Zab Judah—yet admits he's still in awe of his buyers. “It’s an incredible job, and a fun way to meet so many amazing athletes,” he said.

“But when it comes to selling them cars, I have to keep the sports fan inside of me from interfering with business," he said. "There are boundaries that you cannot overstep.” A self-proclaimed "die-hard Yankees fan," he once sold then-Mets pitcher Kris Benson a Volvo. "I'm a businessman," he said. "If David Wright calls, I'm not hanging up on him."
