On leadership:
Chris Bosh may be the undisputed leader of the Toronto Raptors, but the young basketball star admits it's a role he's had to grow into.
It still doesn't fit perfectly.
''I'm just making it up as I go,'' Bosh said with a laugh Thursday.
''I never really saw that many leaders, to be honest with you, so I don't know how to handle it. People can give you advice and tell you, but you're not going to know how to do it because you have to have your own personality.''
On his video characters:
Asked Thursday whether the car salesman character will be making any more appearances, he replied: ''I'm working on different characters right now. I don't want to saturate that dude.''
This, however, is the best part:
Teammate Anthony Parker said it's easy to forget that Bosh is only 23.
''He's an unbelievable talent,'' Parker said. ''But my thing is, everybody knows how great a player he is. It was refreshing to see how good a person he was, how hard he works, how coachable he is.
''He's just very mature and takes everything in stride, and it's a lot on his shoulders at that young an age. But he handles everything really well.'"
