I watched Steve Blake play for the Maryland Terrapins in college and he was an absolute legend in those days. I assumed he would be one of the all-time NBA great players, but his roles always seemed to devalue him. Nevertheless, Blake had a very good NBA career and had particularly memorable stints with the Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Lakers. The Trail Blazers were so fond of him that they brought him back several times.
