Chris Bosh has again insisted that he never quit on the Raptors during his time in Toronto. "Nobody wanted to make the playoffs more than me," Bosh told Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated. "Nobody else wanted to make it more than me, trust me. I put in the work to be successful. I had a turned ankle and I had a broken nose that I had to stay in the hospital for, and I played through it. I know what I put into that organization and what I put into it was everything I had every night." Raptors general manager Bryan Colangelo suggested last month that Bosh mailed it in towards the end of his final season with the team. "Whether he was mentally checked out or just wasn't quite into it down the stretch, he wasn't the same guy," Colangelo said. The new Heat star rejected the suggestion. "I've never quit at anything," Bosh said. "Comments like that, they don't bother me as a player. Professionally, I'm disappointed. [Colangelo and I] went through a lot together. He was the GM and we both tried our best to make that team better while I was there. We had many conversations, we went back and forth on e-mails, so just to hear that, it's disappointing. But at the end of the day, there's no reason to be upset. I know that I would have done anything to win." http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/chris_mannix/08/18/bosh.heat/index.html
I don't believe Bosh quit. I don't give two shits about LeBitch. He played his heart out for us, I'll be the first to admit at. However, he gave up hope on us, which is a different thing all together.
