Flash Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 NEW YORK (AP) -- Standing in front of his new milk mustache ad, a sure cultural sign of celebrity, Chris Bosh was asked if the opportunity came about after he signed with the Miami Heat. "Yeah, of course," he replied, as if the answer should've been obvious. So would it have happened had he stayed in Toronto? "Uhhhhh," Bosh said, carefully pondering the question. "I would like to say yes, but you never know. It's a lot more likely that it would have came being there in the States, to be truthful. That's the unfortunate thing about sports sometimes." The All-Star forward entered free agency this summer, making clear he was seeking not only a chance to win but to raise his profile. Seven years with the Raptors sometimes felt as though he was playing on another planet. Well, at least in another country. "I just always wanted to be recognized as a good player," Bosh told The Associated Press on Wednesday at an event in Manhattan with fellow Olympic gold medalists Apolo Anton Ohno and Shawn Johnson to reveal his new ad. "I feel that I'm one of the best power forwards in the league, but I don't think that the exposure was there or the attention was there. nba.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
