Toronto Raptors Forward Chris Bosh Appears on Jay Leno's Tonight Show
In 2004, Access Magazine called Chris Bosh a "reluctant superstar." In April 2007, just last year, Bosh was called "a reluctant self-promoter" by the one and only New York Times. Oh my, how times have changed.

Since the trade of Vince Carter in 2004, Chris Bosh has been the face of the Raptors franchise.
Bosh is all grown up. He's a superstar, and he's not afraid to let people know it. If appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno as a guest correspondent means you have arrived, well, Bosh has arrived.
CB4 parlayed his recent internet video fame into the NBA Finals gig with Leno and company, and here's how it went:
I wasn't a big fan of his last video, but I'm giving this one two thumbs up. It was pretty hilarious when Kobe Bryant laid a quasi bitch slap to the back of Bosh's neck, and Glen "Big Baby" Davis knows way too much about Sex And The City.
In all seriousness, Bosh looked comfortable behind the mic on a pretty big stage. He's a great basketball player and someone basketball fans, and NBA officials, outside of Toronto need to pay more attention to. The man is marketable. He's got a personality and he's not a
thullard like a lot of other cats in the NBA. No
drugs, no
guns, no
wife-beatage, no
rape accusations, nothing. He's clean.
Hopefully Bosh's star continues to rise. And let the curse of the Celtics begin! After they finish off Kobe and the Lakers, of course.
