When Blake Griffin isn’t busy scoring for the Los Angeles Clippers on the court, he’s driving his favorite Kia vehicles on the road! Griffin is back and better than ever in Kia’s newest commercial for the Next-Generation 2016 Kia Optima called “Chess.”
This new spot takes place in “The Zone,” a place that Griffin often finds himself when he’s playing basketball, and a place new drivers find themselves once they experience the comfortable and spacious cabin in the 2016 Kia Optima. In the zone, we see Griffin playing chess, explaining to the new Optima driver that playing basketball is a lot like chess, requiring a lot of skill, technique, and strategy.
Watch the video below before stopping by King Kia to take the 2016 Kia Optima out for a test drive!
