05:52 AM ET 10.15 | Chris Bosh went to court to reclaim his online identity, and in the process liberated the Internet domain names of 800 other athletes, celebrities and would-be celebrities. A federal judge in California has ordered a cybersquatter to surrender chrisbosh .com to Bosh, the Toronto Raptors forward, settling a lawsuit filed last year. But the court went a step further -- or several hundred steps. Judge Florence-Marie Cooper of United States District Court ordered Luis Zavala and his company, Hoopology .com, to release some 800 illegally registered domain names to Bosh.

NO Offense, but if you can't tell he is not a girl, there are other issues.

No offense, but some of you should be a bit better educated about locks and their historical and spiritual background before making asinine comments.

And if you are used to your girls having beards and mustaches I feel really sorry for you.

LOL - Have to agree with you - They're been so painful to watch the last several games that I'm about to start lighting candles for those guys.... And if that doesn't work might have to look into some sort of magic spells or sacrifices from the neighborhood Botanica!!

I like the sixers.....
