I thought he was selfish and caused locker room factions. I have a friend in Toronto who thinks JO got in Bosh's ear too to ill effect.

I never heard or thought of anything like that. If anything I thought the only negative thought about him was the fact that he had a big contract and injuries didn't allow him to play up to it.

Yeah, I read on the Toronto board a while back where a lot of people thought he was the best thing that ever happened to Bosh when he was in Toronto. He fits with Bosh 100 times more than Bargnani ever did.

from what i remember, JO started making noise 3 or 4 games into his first season with TO. he was upset that he wasn't getting enough touches. he was very good defensively so the fans loved him, and many still do, even though he was a raptor for just a few months. i think bargnani mentioned that JO really helped him and worked with him during that offseason and in practice. he always came off as a very nice person.. i always consider him a pacer
