Big Z + 3

Cavaliers basketball star Zydrunas Ilgauskas will have more to worry about this season than sharing minutes with Shaq and trying to keep King James in Cleveland. Big Z and his wife Jennifer just added two boys to their family.

The 7-foot-3 Lithuanian adopted the 4- and 5-year-old brothers, Povilas and Deividas, from an orphanage in his native country. The boys did not learn English back in their Baltic homeland, so the proud new poppa is wasting no time teaching his new sons and helping them adjust.

"I'm not sleeping as much, but I'm enjoying the heck out of it," the 34-year-old Cavs center told the Associated Press. "It's been a blast. It's been challenging at times but all in all it's been a great experience. We've got a big family now. I'm at a happy place in my life right now. The kids just completed our family."

In other totally unrelated NBA news, the league has just banned tweeting, texting and cell phone calls during games. And you thought your social media addiction was bad!
