Chris Blakemore
Chris Blakemore (born 17 May 1974) is an Australian former professional basketball player. Hailing from Whyalla, South Australia, he began his professional career with the Adelaide 36ers of the National Basketball League. Blakemore was named the NBL Rookie of the Year in 1993 and was selected for the NBL Most Improved Player Award the following season. His performance dropped during the 1995 NBL season and culminated with an incident where Blakemore elbowed Perth Wildcats player Martin Cattalini during a game, resulting in him being suspended through the playoffs.

Blakemore was subsequently released by the Adelaide 36ers and he signed with the Canberra Cannons. He was hampered by a knee injury during the 1996 season and only appeared in three games totalling five minutes. In 1998, Blakemore signed with the Brisbane Bullets for what would be his final season in the NBL.

In 2001–02, Blakemore played in the Australian Basketball Association (ABA) for the Albury Wodonga Bandits.
