All this week, I will be using the input from some of my close friends and followers of the blog for the Celebrity-Athlete series. Some might be better than others; however, I have made sure that all the ones used will at least be, somewhat, believable.
This one comes from my boy @tribeofshabazz; however, I’ve been thinking the same thing for a while now. It must be the fact that we both go to HU and are Sports Journalism Institute grads that puts us on the same page.
Today’s Athlete: Chris Bosh, power forward for the My-ami (pronounced Miami) Cheat (or Heat, if you’re into that sort of thing).
Raise your hand if you thought that the Toronto Raptors was the perfect place for Chris Bosh to be drafted. Keep them up if you, at one point or another, mistook him for the mascot during warm-ups.
I was completely heartbroken when Bosh went on to Wade County, not only because I hated the idea of him and LeBron teaming up with D. Wade, but because there would be no more Jurrasic Park jokes.
Bosh doesn’t look like a flame (pause) but he DOES look like the Velociraptor from Jurassic Park. They’ve got the same bodily motion, and the same tall, slender frame (given, the raptor is way faster and stronger than Bosh). ESPN’s Bill Simmons recently said that he was offended to continuously hear Bosh’s name mentioned among the elite “superstars” of the NBA; what about of Hollywood?
Jurassic Park is a classic and if they were to do a number 4 (no doubt it would be in 3D) my money is on Bosh making a cameo appearance as a baby raptor.
There’s really not much else to say about this one, the proof
is in the picture. I don’t know if Bosh is hiding a tail under his compression shorts, but I do believe that he evolved from the same primordial soup that spawned the Velociraptor.
In the defense of Wade and LeBron, who wouldn’t want a freaking raptor on their team? As Neil Everett would say, “If you don’t thing that’s awesome, then you need awesome lessons.”
