When the Detroit Pistons traded for point guard Steve Blake, it was thought they were looking for a veteran hand to steady their backcourt.
What they got, however, was a marketing superstar.
Blake first flashed his comedic chops two weeks ago, when he starred in a mock tearaway pants advertisement for the Pistons' collaboration with comedy troupe Funny Or Die.
On Tuesday, a day after hip-hop artist Drake released his music video for hit single "Hotline Bling," Blake's face emerged once again in "Hotline Blake."
