Chris Bosh Deserves Your All-Star Vote


by Marcel Mutoni

OK, so maybe he doesn’t really deserve a starting spot on the All-Star squad, but Chris Bosh’s attempt to get one is absolutely glorious.

In a promotional video clip that’s spreading around the Internets like wild fire, we see the normally reserved Bosh decked out head-to-toe in cowboy gear, with the requisite Texas used car salesman twang in full effect.

Though Chris knows he has almost no chance of getting the nod over the likes of KG and LeBron in the Eastern Conference, he still went ahead with the hilarious campaign and had a lot of fun.

“I wanted to do something different, and I noticed that I was behind in the polls,” Bosh said with a laugh.

“I know those guys are going to get the majority of votes and I wanted to do something to get me an edge,” Bosh said.

You can watch the video by clicking here. Vote or die, as it were.

Captain America: Bosh better than KG? Are you kidding? Why has Boston only lost 3 games all season and has the best defence in the leauge? Hint: the answer is not Ray Allen.

hursty says:
if bosh starts then you have half the class of 03′ starting. Wade, LeBron, Bosh. and others on the bench i spose. for the west, ‘Melo, Kaman off the bench. any chance Caron butler gets the bench vote in the east forwards? he did last year.

Jukai says:
Bosh isn’t as good as Garnett, although I’d say he has the upside to be just as good. In an all-star game though, I’d rather see Bosh, he’s a little bit more fun to watch.

At least Chris is making an effort toward the fans which does not feel like it is just for his ego. I thought it was hilarious. If i was talented enough to emulate my heroes thats the type of player i would want to be off the court.

JONATHAN HELMICK says:
BOSH IS WHERE HE NEED TO BUT IF HE WANTS TO GET TO THE ALL-STAR GAME HE HAS GOT TO PUT UP BETTER NUMBERS THAN 20PTS AND 9BOARDS HE IS 6′10 AND IN THE TOP 8 PLAYERS IN THE EAST. HE NEEDS TO GET AT LEAST 11 TO 14 BOARDS A GAME IF HE WANTS TO BE A STATER IN THE ALL STAR GAME

john says:
yes he needs to go and chris pual

Boing Dynasty says:
Bosh will be in the game because hes a very good player, KG will start because hes better, more popular and his team has a better record. why is there even a debate on this subject?

bootlace says:
Marcel, waiting for a “Hedo Turkoglu deserves your all-star vote” any minute now.

I smell Bosh’s agent at work here… Do you really think Bosh sat thought “Oh, I’m not getting many All Star votes! I need to shoot a wacky ad!” I’d bet his more concerned with the fact that he’s the ‘muscle’ on a FIBA jumpshooting team.

Hell'’ Ye Bosh should play in the AllStar game
