One thing is for sure about this commercial, Blake Griffin is NOT your average spokesperson! The 22-year-old professional basketball stud stars in a new Kia Optima commercial which doesn’t only deem awkward for the people in the video, but for us viewers too! We love seeing “Basketball Blake” out of his element and in an art gallery though. Well done, Kia! Check out the newest car commercial above.

While the NBA season looks to be canceled for now, Los Angeles Clipper forward Blake Griffin is still keeping busy.

Jordin Sparks‘s single “I Am Woman” is now being featured as the theme song for women’s sports on ESPN! She talked to the network about loving sports:

espnW: What is the story behind “I Am Woman” and the message you want to communicate through the song?
Jordin: For me, “I Am Woman” is all about transition. I turned 21 in December, so I’m not completely grown up yet but I’m not a little girl anymore. Just in that in-between stage. The song is everything I have ever heard a woman say. I loved this song for me and every young lady, girl and woman to be able to feel empowered in being female.
espnW: What sports teams and players do you root for?
Jordin: Oh geez … here we go! Phoenix Suns: Steve Nash, Grant Hill. Miami Heat: LBJ, [Dwyane] Wade, JJ [James Jones], [Eddie] House. Timberwolves: Wes Johnson. Arizona Cardinals: Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Breaston, Darnell Dockett, Tim Hightower … pretty much the entire team. Colts: [Peyton] Manning.
