    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">COSTAMESA, CALIF. -- A surprise guest showed up at Raptors summer camp yesterday to start working with frontcourt-mate Charlie Villanueva.

    Raptors star forward Chris Bosh, who knows a thing or two about professionalism, joined the draft picks and free agents for practice yesterday and came away with a good first impression of Villanueva. While some wondered why the Raptors snapped up a power forward with their first pick in the draft when Bosh plays the same position, the Texan thinks he and Villanueva can develop fine chemistry.</div>

    Great signs... Bosh likes the new draftees and thinks he can coexisist with C'Nova. He's impressed with Joey Graham.

    It's good they're sending C'Nova to the weights immediately.. if he buuilds 10 pounds before the season he'll be a force to be reckoned with.

    It's funny becuase Joey Graham is much older then Chris Bosh... [​IMG]

    Lol, that's not entirely true. He's like 2 years older than Bosh, but it is funny how they're trying to impress a kid who's younger than them.. heh.

    A younger kid who's a superfreak that is.

    Agreed lol

    I think it was a really nice thing that Bosh did to come down and work out with his new teammate when he didn't have to. [​IMG] Good 'ol classy Bosh

    Great to see Bosh welcome the rookies and set a good example by working out with them. The faster this unit can gel together the better their season will be.

    Bosh has a great attitude toward the raptors future and his new teammates. He says there will be no competition between Villanueva and Bosh which is very nice to hear.

    Reminds me of someone who DIDN'T do such a thing. *Ahem* Vince Carter. [​IMG]

    But yes, Bosh could have been resting, chilling with friends and family in Georgia but he came all the way to California to help gel the team together. That tells you something about the guy. Thumbs up for him all the way [​IMG]

    You know if I was Bosh I wouldn't want to go back to my full time job until I really had too. Hehe.

    He really loves his team, and wants the best for the team in every way possible... that's a franchise player right there.

    The difference between a leader and a non-leader is that the former takes initiative to take responsibility. Bosh just has that character, a charisma in him that aspires others. My praises go out to Bosh's parents who raised him the 'right' way.

    If Charlie V puts on 10lbs but if Bosh did them it's over, I love what CB4 is doin and im pretty happy with the Rooks we have, especially "G-Unit" Joey Graham (yes i know its a lame nickname).

    Oh definetly.. Bosh is a leader. Not all franchise players are like that though. You see, most people label the best player on the team the franchise player... that is usually befitting but in this case Bosh is the clear cut leader/ franchise player.

    P.S - How is everyone liking this Hobbes avatar? [​IMG]
