Must say this article was rather disappointing to read as it does bash Toronto and makes it seem like Bosh was force to waste 7 years of his career here. A few high light quotations...

 

"They're trying to stop you? That's not a good feeling -- especially when your (teammates) are struggling. Every night they're trying to stop you. But then if I'm struggling, they're like, `He only had 16 points.' Well, damn, they double-teamed me the whole game. What do you want me to do?"

Regarding being drafted to Toronto:

"I didn't want to go there," Bosh said. "It was different. All I knew was Vince Carter was there and I never saw him play on TV. It was a whole different country, and it was just different. I'm 19 years old, I didn't know anything about culture and being away from home. All I know is the States.

"Toronto's a great place, a fantastic city. It's a metropolitan area, but you could tell you're somewhere different. You could feel it, you could look at it, you can smell it. Everything. All your senses tell you you're somewhere different."

"I hate losing probably more than anybody in the world. But it's just been my fate so far."
