#SLOE: People's Basketball Sim League

Chris Bosh enters the court on horseback, face painted and ready for war:



Bosh: Sons of Toronto, I am Chris Bosh.

Young soldier: Chris Bosh is 7 feet tall.

Bosh: Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds, and if he were here he'd consume the Hawks with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse. I AM CHRIS BOSH. And I see a whole army of my countrymen here in defiance of tyranny. You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What would you do without freedom? Will you fight?

Veteran soldier: Fight? Against that? No, we will run; and we will live.

Bosh: Aye, fight and you may die. Run and you'll live -- at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!!!

GWR: Chris, do you have any statements on your time in Minnesota, and do you think your chances to win a ring have improved in Toronto?

Obviously, Bosh and Lowry are the two key additions to your team. Hassan Whiteside showed great progress in training camp, and Monta Ellis was a solid off-season pickup. Do you think your team is solid enough behind Bosh to do some real damage in the playoffs when the Timberwolves only got out of the first round once with Bosh and Lowry as their centerpieces?

Chris: Minnesota helped me become the player I am today, I have made quite a few personal accomplishments there. I just hope to be able to carry than on in Toronto and hopefully bring some team accomplishments with it. But I don't think it will be any easier here than it was there.

Not sure yet if the team is solid enough. Will be a learning experience. But we know we have a solid base. Depth is a bit of a concern.

Do you think you can challenge the reigning Hawks for a Division crown?

Does this really count as a presser?

Nick Melon; The Advocate: How would you rank Bosh's game amongst some of the best power forwards to ever play for Toronto like Elton Brand and Gugliotta?

What in particular made you feel trading a young, promising rookie in Green for a veteran like Bosh? Was it the level of talent of acquiring Bosh, or not seeing Green as a future star?
