@chrisbosh I don't film my meetings. I am a professional. Having control of your own media is a distraction, but when other networks do it, it's not?

lol, shot at Wade?

Haha I think that is a shot at Wade... because he's basically saying filming your meetings isn't professional and isn't that what Wade is doing?

It seems like Bosh has heard of the news of Bucher's report on ESPN.

B effin' S propaganda. "Will too win" is all crap, MIA is trying to create leverage for a straight sign rather than a SnT.

Bosh is learning that things can get ugly real fast in the real world. He has been sheltered for 7 years and in a bubble where people actually think he is the bee's knees.

It's a shot at ESPN who are filming everything. He's saying cameras are there anyway, they might as well be his.

Bosh and Wade have camera crews, but do you really think either of them bring in them into actual meeting? No, they get nice shots of them walking out of the cars and and arriving at different offices.

Don't believe it, and regardless it doesn't matter. If Miami trys to lowball Bosh he will go for the max in Chicago or Houston. Miami can turn down Bosh if they want to and get Amare, but that would be a huggggeee mistake.

I hope he goes to Houston!

The right would be Warriors
No defense and he can score at will

11 would probably be Rodman, or just a Spinal Tap reference because I can't help but make Spinal Tap references. And yes, I'd say a three because he hasn't done that much. He tweets; so do a lot of other players. He puts together little Youtube vignettes; I can name off a bunch of players who've been in feature films, good and bad.

I don't deny at all that he has tried to get his name out there, but to me the bar for 'attention whore' begins with the point where those attempts begin to overtake your on-court activities, and become the dominant narrative surrounding you...ie., it's both at the front of your mind and that of the media. And I don't think that's anywhere near the case with Bosh.

Bosh is doing a documentary? can't say I'm surprised, but I am surprised Hadi, does not seem to be involved.

According to Bucher CB is doing a documentary.

Sour grapes. Miami thinks he is likely to sign elsewhere. What if Bosh and Wade both sign in Chicago? Where is Miami then?

Still Florida...probably.

Heh, this is a league where a tonne of players have released uniformly-awful albums. The dial for lame attempts at seeking publicity goes up to 11, and Bosh is perhaps a 3.

That may be true, but I was responding to whysoserious who made it sound like there was some sort of reversal of opinion on Bosh's attention seeking. There has been some, but there was always a large number of people that didn't like it from the get go.

I could be wrong but I doubt it was a large number. I think the number of people that supported the video far outweights the people that were opposed to it but now it's the reverse and pretty much all because he's leaving. I'm sure there were people that didn't like the idea or thought it was lame, just that it wasn't that large of a group.

Chris Bosh reads Realgm... I wouldn't be surprised if someone linked him to this thread.

He's seemed more into the media attention and "brand building" and less concerned with the basketball side of things.

LOL!

Very Interesting that the Raptors have not officially offered the max to Chris. Would be ironic if James teams up with Amare and Wade with Boozer and Raps wait it out on Chris.

If true, they must've asked him to take the 5 year deal and not work the S&T, in order to keep their youngsters, picks and capspace, and he must've told them to go to hell. Which he should - he's a max-out player and the best PF in the game. If they don't want to pony up to get him, maybe the Heat aren't "all about winning".

The majority of the change is because he's leaving and people are hurt, while the others are previous haters of Chris Bosh who usually support Andrea Bargnani. I'm a fan of Bosh, but could care less what he does in the off-season, or twitter or what team he ends up on anymore, since this team is going to be **** for the next several years. But, either way, this constant bitching about Bosh is worse than anything Bosh does. During the regular season people loved how Bosh was interactive with the fans. Now that he's dumped the Raptors, the Raptor fans are acting like jealous girlfriends. The problem is, Chris Bosh and the Toronto Raptors are too prevalent in people's lives. People need to get a life of their own.

LOL damage control!!!

Bosh if you are reading this just STFU and everything will be fine!

ps- the way you have handled FA is disgusting! Your fans are upset! Even knicks fans are hating on you for it. STFU and play basketball

This is no big deal. Unlike with Toronto, Miami wouldn't get him to be a Batman. He'd be a Robin or Batgirl.

BS. I've been on Bosh's nuts since day 1. I've supported him leaving, but his media w*ore thing is pathetic.
