    Shane Battier rescued from elevator

    MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Call it the ultimate man defense. Grizzlies forward Shane Battier says he was literally boxed in when stuck in an elevator between floors for 25 minutes on his way to practice.

    Battier said Friday after practice the elevator at his apartment building stopped between floors Friday morning. He had just enough of a view of a floor that he thought about how he might contort his body to escape, if necessary. He says he was stuck with only a cup of coffee and his phone as he waited for help.

    While he waited, Battier tweeted about being stuck and the blessings of working elevators.

    Maybe he won't be sticking around.

    Maybe his apartment is bigger than the average house.

    Dunno why the elevator played such tight D, they should know Battier can only make shots from the corner stairway.

    Cleverly disguised excuse to not work on his jump shot.

    He just moved there, and there's no guarantee he's going to be staying there for long. Plus his family is still here (I think). Pretty dumb to get a house before he gets a contract.

    We all know that Battier and dumb are like oil and water.
