I’ll admit that before today, I knew next to nothing about Chris Bosh. All these years, I made zero effort to familiarize myself with his NBA career and background.
Thanks to Stefan Bondy of the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, I now know all I need to know about him.
Bosh was in New York this week to promote one of his few sponsors, the Milk Board, when he told Bondy that he intentionally misled fans and the media about his intentions before he signed with the Miami Heat.
He also likened “playing with people’s emotions“ to “entertainment.”
“If you think about how many times somebody asks you, ‘How are you,’ that’s how many times I was asked, ‘Where you going? So it’s like, well, in my case, I’m going to have fun with it. I’m going to play with people’s emotions. I’m going to be high and low.
“I wouldn’t call it a game because it’s serious, but, I mean, it’s entertainment at the end of the day. It’s the truth. We’re entertaining and everything but at the same time I’m just getting my feelings out there.
“It’s entertaining to see people react to your real emotions because if it wasn’t fun I wouldn’t do it.”
To the fans who invest their emotion and hard-earned money in the Heat and to Bosh’s sponsors: Hope you’re listening.

What a douche!

He always seemed like a pretty cool dude. He put on a great show
11:28 pm on August 12th, 2010
He’d do it if it wasn’t fun. Come on. That dude is full of those cliches, too.
11:52 pm on August 12th, 2010
It could be he didn’t mean it that way. He is a half moron and it’s possible he was just uttering a cliche. Because he’d have to be an idiot to actually again claim that this was planned a year earlier. Keep in mind wade used his kids to threaten the heat by saying that he could see them more in Chicago

Pat Tillman would be embarssed by the selfish and ignorant way some of his family has treated what is a sad but not uncommon occurrence in war. Friendly fire happens and low level soldiers are heartbroken and scared after it. To blame higher level people is assinine. How dare they.

I don’t have a problem with this…he was just toying with the media. Don’t go all Jim Gray on us Brooks - keep up the good work and thanks for rescinding my “gag order” haha later bros

This d-bag along with King Wing Man James will have trouble getting to the Finals this year. What a joke these guys are.

boo hoo cmon dude get serious,
if youre a emotional sports fan, that invest your hard earned money, you have more proms than just Chris Bosh,
1. if you’re emotional about sports, you’re a gambler or a bitch
2. if you’re spending your HARD EARNED money on sports you have your priorities way off base, hard earned money should be saved and used for bills and your future, extra spending money should be spent on sports
9:53 am on August 13th, 2010
“if you’re spending your HARD EARNED money on sports you have your priorities way off base…”
“…extra spending money should be spent on sports”
You’re a moron. Extra spending money isn’t hard earned? If I make 100k and only have 50k in expenditures, does that mean only half my money is hard earned? Your logic astounds me.

quit being babies, you dont really care how Bosh acts just as long as he doesnt do something illegal.
10:33 am on August 13th, 2010
Do u mean Eddie einhorn and if so explain more
11:14 am on August 13th, 2010
Chris Who?
Sounds like he’s toying with you right now…
11:52 am on August 13th, 2010
So where can I find this (free) “extra spending money”?
Let us in on your secret!

I think he is still mad about Mike Breen stealing his jersey.
3:10 pm on August 13th, 2010
am from Miami and all i care about is him helping the heat win games
8:18 pm on August 13th, 2010
I heart Chris Bosh! Why would you ask “where are you going”? Do you really think a pro athlete will tell some random fan where he’s going? Stupid idiots. Let Bosh have his fun. I like messing with ppl too.
9:15 pm on August 13th, 2010
He irrelevant. He’s never played a big game in his career and he quit on his team last year when they were 1 game out with 6 games to go.
That’s all you need to know about RuPaul.

Two of the Big 3 have been accused of being quitters.
If this story is true (and you never know if it is or not without the videotape) then Bosh adds another strike against his character.
Why? He sounds immature and self-centered. Who does that remind you of?
I say Wade is going to have his work cut out for him when things get tight for the Heat, because it’s an open question whether either LeBron or Bosh have the character to perform when the pressure’s really on.

Outside of Miami, who cares dude? Nobody watched the NBA anyway
