Giants' Buster Posey uses 'archaic' flip phone to limit distractions

What do Klay Thompson and Buster Posey have in common?

Aside from being three-time champions in their respective sports and two of the most beloved athletes in the Bay Area, one could say Thompson and Posey are similar in their demeanors. They're all about the game, and unlikely to be distracted by much else.

How do they manage this? By avoiding the temptation altogether.

Thompson uses an old-fashioned flip phone, and Posey does, too.

The Giants' catcher intentionally switched from a more modern cell phone back to a flip phone in order to significantly limit the ways in which he could be distracted by his mobile device, an affliction he sought to avoid after seeing some of his younger teammates fall victim to theirs.
