Fact Check: Does Blake Griffin have a kid with Lana Rhoades? Viral Instagram story debunked
There has been a long-standing rumor that Blake Griffin is the father of former adult film star Lana Rhoades' son Milo. Rhoades has kept her son's father's identity a secret. A video allegedly showing Rhoades calling Griffin to visit their son did the rounds on social media.
"Hey, Blake Griffin," Rhoades wrote in the alleged story. "At least come visit your child before they ship your a** to China next year."
However, it should be noted that the Instagram video was not real. An image from Lana Rhoades' real Instagram story was used with fake captions generated by ButtCrack Sports on Twitter.
ButtCrack Sports is a popular satire and parody account that often posts fake quotes from big names.
Griffin signed with the Boston Celtics this season but has been out of the rotation for most of the season and the playoffs. Meanwhile, Durant was traded to the Phoenix Suns midway through this season.

Blake Griffin set to become free agent
Blake Griffin is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. Griffin signed a one-year deal with the Celtics last summer but was barely part of their rotation.
The 34-year-old forward no longer has the athleticism that made him one of the best players in the past decade. It will be interesting to see if Griffin will have some suitors in the NBA or has to end his career abroad.
Dwight Howard has been playing great in Taiwan and has recently called out poor postseason performers to join him. Will Howard also invite Griffin to join him and play for the Taoyuan Leopards of the T1 League?
