Tualatin, OR -- It wasn’t quite the same mob that turned out to welcome Greg Oden to Portland, but Steve Blake got a pretty nice reception Tuesday at the Trail Blazers practice facility for a noontime press conference welcoming the former Blazers guard back to Portland.
Some 130 campers attending Nate McMillan’s basketball camp joined the media on the basketball court at the team’s training facility in Tualatin for a light-hearted Q & A with Blake, who recently signed a three-year deal with Portland.
Blake, 27, originally played for the Trail Blazers during the 2005-06 season posting averages of 8.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 4.5 assists, while shooting 41 percent from 3-point range in 68 games (57 starts) with Portland.
