Jose Calderon is not a billionaire, but don't tell the Cavs that

Although he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in February, Channing Frye's impact on the Cleveland Cavaliers can still be felt, in the form of one of the team's most cherished inside jokes.

The Cavs think Jose Calderon is a billionaire.

Frye, who even by NBA player standards spends an inordinate amount of time on his phone scrolling through social media, came across an unexpected Google search result. Cleveland's 36-year-old backup point guard was listed as the heir to a $2.2 billion fortune, thanks to his father's stake in a Coca-Cola bottling company named FEMSA.

It didn't take long for Frye's discovery to spread throughout the team.
