Chris Bosh inadvertently made himself a target by joining the Heat. People continue to take shots at him for allegedly being soft and for not being a top-flight player…among other things. Well, he’s tired of it and he has a good point.
There was the viral video that, in the opening, compared Bosh to a stapler that “you thought was going to be awesome, you get it, it sucks.” There was ESPN’s Skip Bayless branding him “Bosh Spice.” There were the countless other critics that labeled him soft or lazy.
“People created this stigma about [me] and they just ran with it,” Bosh said. “And once it was out there, everyone ran with it. It was just talk. There was no evidence to back it up. The name-calling and stuff, it got a little too out of hand. If you want to say my game isn’t where it’s supposed to be, fine. But the name calling, that’s not journalism. Too many people, especially when they don’t know me, were just saying a whole lot of stuff that wasn’t true.”
