There will be no end to the era of Miami Heat players saying ridiculous things. You do know that, right?
This is what Chris Bosh said to the Toronto Sun during Tuesday's shootaround:
"I mean, really it's all about being on TV at the end of the day," Bosh said following the pre-game shoot around. [...]
"Seriously, a guy can average (20 points and 10 rebounds) and nobody cares. If you don't see it, it doesn't really happen." [...]
"If you look around, there's more cameras than I've seen in a month, maybe two months probably in a season combined," Bosh said. "It's a little different."
Right, Chris.
So, because you played on the Toronto Raptors, you didn't get the publicity you deserved? The TV face time you deserved? Playing for one of the most rabid fan bases in one of the biggest cities in North America, a city that hosted the most popular NBA pod/videocast throughout your time with the team, and nobody saw it?
Chris, if anything, you were a little overrated until last season. A great player, but nowhere near the LeBron/Kobe/Wade/Howard-level. Do you know how I can tell? Because LeBron James and Dwyane Wade had pretty crummy supporting casts for most of their runs, and they still were in the playoffs consistently, playing on national TV. Kobe Bryant, before Pau Gasol showed up, still dragged a terrible Los Angeles Lakers team into the playoffs a couple of times. You made it in twice, in seven years.
But, kids, the man has a point. It really is "all about being on TV at the end of the day."
Like Charlie Sheen, Jay Leno, and Snooki.
