Blake Griffin is in the “Zone” yet again. This time, he’s making the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich when a new 2016 Kia Optima owner pulls up alongside him. Unfamiliar with the “Zone”, the driver asks Griffin where he is. In his signature deadpan delivery, the NBA star tells the driver that the Optima delivers a near-perfect driving experience and therefore, access to the “Zone”.

Griffin will be bringing his sense of humor with him in each of the spots as well. Kia’s best-selling midsize sedan, the Optima, will be the “The Official Vehicle of the NBA”. As a brand ambassador, Blake Griffin instills what our team at Destination Kia has known all along; quality at a fantastic price.
