Oklahoma teenager, Kaitlyn Ladevaia, just got her first cell phone. Now she can get calls and texts from her family and friends. The problem is she also gets lots and lots of calls and texts from people she doesn’t know. You see, Kaitlyn ended up with NBA player Blake Griffin’s old cell phone number.
Kaitlyn does have unlimited data on her phone so all those extra text messages don’t cost her a dime.
However, she doesn’t have unlimited minutes and would rather use them chatting with her friends than letting people know she’s not Blake Griffin.
For now her family is set on keeping the number. Kaitlyn enjoys the claim to fame of having Blake Griffin’s old number. She just hopes that the texts and calls eventually stop.

There is no amount of training that could enable even the greatest of athletes to slam dunk a basketball, followed by himself, through a hoop. It can, however, be done by total random accident. This member of the Phoenix Suns’ Sol Patrol pulls off the miraculous self-dunk maneuver with remarkable poise and grace, belying the horror that must accompany the feeling of one’s face sliding through that webbed mesh, and he even sticks the landing!
OK, so he doesn’t really stick the landing.
Nonetheless, the bar has been seriously raised for halftime entertainment. That mascot has his work cut out for him.
As part of Gatorade’s new branding campaign (apparently research shows more people will buy sugar water if it’s called “G”), TBWA/Chiat/Day and Tarsem teamed up to make a brilliant parody of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Enjoy this ten minute film, as King Kevin Garnett and various other athletes go on a quest for hydration. Can’t say it made me want to buy more . . . G, but I’d buy a pagan Kareem and his talking goat herald toy in a second.
