Download your own Lil’ Kev

In a pinch and looking to drive in the HOV lane? Need to fill quorum at a board meeting? Perhaps you just need someone to sit with at lunch.

Rejoice, people. WFNY has you covered.

By now, you’ve certainly heard about Lil’ Kev, the Cleveland Cavaliers’ unofficial mascot. If you’re not following Richard Jefferson on Snapchat, you’re clearly missing out. For the uninitiated, we turn to a story from ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.

What Lil’ Kev is, literally, is a Tommy Bahama advertisement that was ripped out of an in-flight magazine by Jefferson when the Cavs were flying back from Detroit after their first-round sweep of the Pistons.

Jefferson thought the model in the ad bore a striking resemblance to Love.

“We saw Lil’ Kev in a magazine and we just started giving Big Kev a lot of crap, even though it’s not him,” said Jefferson. “It’s not him and that makes it even funnier.” …

Jefferson’s Snapchat followers have picked up on the joke, sending him photos with their own printouts of Love’s face with messages like, “Just hanging with Lil’ Kev, drinking a beer.”

Last week, when carpooling with Channing Frye and Love to a team dinner in between the first and second rounds of the playoffs, Jefferson gave Lil’ Kev the front seat in his car and made the 6-foot-11 Frye sit in the back.

Following Lil’ Kev has been one of the many highlights from the postseason. Jefferson’s narration of Kev’s day range from the alter ego complaining about not getting credit for drawing a foul, to searching out other Kev-like billboards throughout the country. If you’re looking to join in the fun, the good news is we’ve saved you the trip to Target, or the $5 you would have to spend to obtain a magazine with the advertisement.

See the image above? It’s yours for the printing. We recommend cardstock for additional durability, but if your goal is to simply hang Lil’ Kev on your office corkboard, any semi-gloss printer paper should do. Share as you wish. Tell your friends. Bring him to the next holiday meal with your family. Whatever you do, make sure you buckle him in. We wouldn’t want anything to happen to that floral print.
