Steve Blake can hit the open jumper, and lead your children through the harsh wilderness to safety
Ripped straight from ESPN's NBA bullets today
Steve Blake apparently found two lost boys while he was hiking and helped them find their way to the lodge and their parents.

Sounds set up to me
Blake is doing anything he can to avoid getting traded. He should look at Frye and realize that sucking up to the town won’t keep you around.

It is a different audience
Frye targeted hipsters and fanboys of micro-brew. Blake is aiming to bring in the outdoor enthusiast and maybe the small, but vocal, faction of survivalists. Broader statewide appeal then Frye.

Fans of micro-brews and outdoor enthusiasts
are the same people.

I've seen people hiking here with boomboxes
so I wouldn’t really call it “harsh wilderness” but go Steve!

Although my favorite thing about Blake
Is that during the intros everyone else gets a longwinded intro like “The L-Train, LaMarcus Aldridge” or “Joe the Thrilla Pyrzbilla” and all Blake gets is “Starting at Guard, out of Maryland, Number 2, STEVE BLAKE!”

it's a nice story, but the rhetoric is a over the top.
I’ve been going to Silver Falls since I was a kid – the “wilderness” is quite a stretch. It’s a gorgeous state park, with miles of beautiful hiking trails. But all the trails are improved (paved or compact gravel), and heavily travelled.
The likely scenario is that the kids ran off from their parents and probably got turned around. Blake comes across them on the trail, and walks them back on the trail to the lodge. Good on him, it’s the right thing to do. But it’s not like he’s was out bushwacking through the remote wilderness and came across these two boys who were stranded in the cold and about to be eaten by bears. It’s almost a certainty that they either would have followed the trail back out to the lodge or been “found” by the next decent human being walkng down the trail.
I’m not dimishing Steve’s display of good neighborliness, just the media’s overblown hyperbole.
How did you guys win that?

Yeah, at Silver Falls on a nice day, you're likely to see someone on the trail about every 30 seconds.

and that's only if you don't end up travelling in a big herd of peole

to the national media, the entire pacific northwest is the wilderness
infested with savages.
"There are a few teams you have to watch out for in the fourth quarter."
"Yeah, but Portland definitely is not one of them."
-New Orleans Hornets broadcasters at the end of the third quarter with the Hornets leading 74-59. Portland later ends up winning 97-89.
"They don't mind him shooting that shot at all. Rudy Fernandez is not that great of a 3pt shooter."
-New Orleans Hornets broadcasters right after a Rudy Fernandez missed 3pter. Rudy Fernandez finished the game with three 3pters on six attempts.

This is why he's a player and Bayless never will be
Bayless totally wouldn’t have helped those kids.
