Blake was a 4-year varsity player at Mater Dei High School, helping the Monarchs win 4x Southern California titles, 2x CIF championships, and 2x California State championships. As senior captain, he led his team to a 35–1 record and #5 nationally ranked before continuing his basketball career at UCLA as a preferred walk-on, turning down smaller Division I scholarships to stay closer to home. During his junior year, he earned a full scholarship and was honored with UCLA Athletics Rose Gilbert Courage and Character Award for starting an online fund in honor of his mom after she suddenly passed the summer before his sophomore year.
Throughout his career, he competed with and against elite players including Jrue Holiday, Klay Thompson, DeMar DeRozan, James Harden, Darren Collison, Kevin Love and others.
He is also the creator of Dunk MS (2018–Present), the world's first charity dunk show at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, which has made a lasting impact in the fight against MS in honor of his late mom, Brigitte.
