Chris Bosh, the former Raptors all-star, has enumerated another reason why he?s happy to be playing in his native United States. Bosh told reporters in Miami on Thursday that his seven years in Toronto deprived him of what he called ?the good cable.?
He was speaking of cable TV. He said he was glad to be living in Miami because he can now subscribe to League Pass, the pay package that carries every NBA game.
NBA types in Toronto couldn?t help but break out laughing, as they?ve been doing frequently when they?ve watched Bosh?s abysmal (albeit early) failure to fit into the Heat?s game plan. Bosh?s comments suggested that he spent more than half a decade in Toronto apparently unaware that League Pass is widely available in Canada. While Bosh clarified that his Etobicoke waterfront condo was exclusively loyal to a TV carrier that didn?t give residents that option, he was also apparently dumb to the fact that anyone with a brain and a bit of money ? and Bosh made $15.6 million (U.S.) in his final season in Toronto ? can arrange to have a grey-market U.S. satellite package installed in their home with one phone call.
?We should have informed him that he could have got (League Pass),? Jay Triano, the Raptors coach, said with a laugh. ?I don?t remember one day when he came into practice and said he was mad because he didn?t have good cable.?
