First the Big 3 break up, now today day we wake up, Chris Bosh got a problem with….LeBron?
It seems like there’s no love lost after LeBron James decided to repack his belongings and return back to his Ohio stomping grounds to put on the uniform he began his career with in 2003. But recently, former teammate of the King and Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh came out and made some very interesting comments about the 4 time NBA MVP. In fact, he publicly gave some advice to Bron Bron’s newest teammate, Kevin Love about adjusting to the playing style as he preps to suit up to be apart of a new and improved Cavaliers “Big 3”. Bosh quoted:
You don’t get your pick of the buffet.
Exactly. You just get your entree and that’s it. It’s like, wait a minute, I need my appetizer and my dessert and my drink, what are you doing? And my bread basket. What is going on? I’m hungry! It’s a lot different. But if you can get through it, good things can happen. But it never gets easy. Even up until my last year of doing it, it never gets easier.”
He also adds on by saying:
It’s going to be very difficult for him. Even if I was in his corner and I was able to tell him what to expect and what to do, it still doesn’t make any difference. You still have to go through things, you still have to figure out things on your own. It’s extremely difficult and extremely frustrating. He’s going to have to deal with that.
Such a tough critique on a former teammate that helped led Miami to one of the most dominant dynasty in NBA history. A dynasty that led to 4 consecutive NBA Finals, 2 NBA world champions and 1 powerful impact on the league that have a slew of teams searching for a will and a way to form their own “Big 3”. But the basketball world is curious, why now? Most importantly, why give advices to a potential opponent you are bound to see as the season develops? If you want to base it on stats and repertoire then that could be a idealistic logic. In the past 8 seasons, only two players in the Association have averaged 24 points and 10 rebounds. If you wondering who….it’s that Texas native who made 9 all star appearances and was the face of the Toronto Raptors before signing with the Heat to add sone NBA championships to his resume as well, Mr. Bosh himself. The other forward is “Mr. Walking Double-Double” and LeBron’s new teammate, Kevin Love.
It will be really interesting how Love would take heap of the latest comments by Bosh. Early favorites to win it all come June, the Cleveland Cavaliers will have the huge “radar” signal on them as they will have no choice but to bring their “A” game night after night. As with Bosh, comments like this should scratch a person’s head and suggest him that he needs to let it go. He made great memories with the King. In fact, he can make even more noise with his other counterpart, Dwayne Wade as the Heat brought in some young talent to look out for as well. In scenarios like this, where champions are expected to stick with one another until the fight is over with for good, some awkwardness will eventually develop. Mr. Shawn Carter said it best in his classic 5 mic album “The BluePrint“, What you eat don’t make me s***- where’s the love?
Omari feels that Bosh just has to let the hurt go and proceed with life as a member of the Heat. He believes LeBron leaving Miami creates the perfect chance for him to have another 20 points and 12 rebounds season like his golden days in Toronto. It’s time to put up or shut up.
