I guess no one wants to talk to him in Miami ... Bosh is not the king of the hill there
I couldn't careless on what he has to say. I won't boo the guy ... i will ignore him |

recap:
Special guest - 7 years he spent in this town - Chris Bosh Jack - congrats, exciting perspective...usage of twitter? Fan base kind of felt a little bit betrayed, not hearing from you personally. Bosh - Situation was unprecedented, not going to be able to please everybody, going to step on toes, wasn't trying to upset anybody, just trying to broadcast and have fun with it. Wanted to reach out to fans everywhere. Sorry, nothing serious, all just fun. Eric Smith - not twittergate, but I felt situation was mishandled... Same with LeBron, slap in the face to Cleveland... both could have handled situation better? Bosh - Pleased with it, don't think I offended people. Knew I was going to step on people's toes. Underestimated the emotional ... misunderstood how much it was going to affect me emotionally, what's best for me and my family. Couldn't talk to many people. Knew not everybody was going to like his decision... Wouldn't change a thing Jones - When did you feel that TO was out of the mix? How much did you consider them? Bosh - "not until the last minutes" (suuuuuure), always considered toronto, it was at the last minute. Have close friends, almost like family. It's my home. Weighed in on it. Had great years there, weighed down on me the most. Made the decision the toughest. Jack - on the air... former member of the Raptors - knock that TO's not an NBA city. When you talk/reflect about Toronto. How do you feel about the city? Bosh - about hard work, hard working town. Want to see production. Extremely passionate. Not just a hockey town, packed house almost every night. Some of the greatest fans out there. Love their team, and their basketball Smith -from TJ, to JO.... to Marion...etc.etc Tried a lot of things to try and complement. Anything to have kept you? Bosh - With the situation we had, we did the best we could. BC did a good job in being aggressive, like with JO, it just didn't work out. We had one great season, every other one was fun, but we didn't get to the goal Jones - LeBron/Wade? when did you talk about it first? When did you know it would work? Tug of War between Wade and LeBron? Bosh - Never bold conversations. We gave each other breathing space, and time to think, big misconception that they were in touch all of the time. Just had to just jump on a limb and just do it. Chose Miami, then could accommodate LeBron... At the end of the day, chose to go to Miami, Dwayne wanted to stay, and then LeBron Smith - mentioned Vince, are you prepared for what you know will come? From a good chunk of folks. Bosh - Fans are passionate, but you can't please everybody. Fans know that I appreciate everything they've done for me. Never gone unnoticed. I miss Toronto, I have nothing bad to say about the org, city, country. Took me in. People are passionate about their team, I don't know what to expect, but I won't be surprised if I get showered. Jones - Pat Riley? Role? recruiting. Will he eventually coach? Bosh - I don't think so, believe in Spoelstra. People would love that, but I think they have their ducks in order and know what they want. Jack - Thanks, good 7 years, class act, straight shooter... Good Luck Bosh - Thanks for all of the years, and everything, and.... hope you don't boo me when I come back |
