Don't let Portland Trail Blazers guard Steve Blake's slight build fool you: he's one of the toughest players in the NBA.
The MMA-trained Blake took exception to Denver Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried on Sunday, and decided to throw a hard shoulder into Faried's chest. Faried responded by embellishing the contact.
Flop or no flop, the body check earned Blake a flagrant foul.
