Bosh takes shot at broadcaster
Chris Bosh has lashed out at a "classless" American broadcaster he feels crossed the line in a personal attack. Stephen A. Smith, a prominent ESPN analyst known for his loud delivery and over-the-top commentary, compared Bosh to former NBAer Manute Bol on Friday, chastising the Raptor all-star for playing soft and being unable to lead his team to any significant level of success.

I like Stephen A. but he was wrong here. Bosh isn't surrounded with the personnel for a significant level of success. He's done as much as can be expected with what he has to work with. The Raptors are still probably 2 players away from being an elite team.

I don't really believe Bosh can do it alone. KG, Kobe, and Lebron are good examples of great players who have had decent teammates (now of course all 3 have a completely new roster).

Who cares what Stephen A. Smith says? Go out there and prove him wrong Bosh.

Exactly, Farmar. These guys worry too much about their image. Win, and the image takes care of itself.

Bosh, like T-Mac and Lebron is an all-star, but he doesn't have the supporting cast like some other stars in the NBA. In case Stephen A forgot, basketball is a team sport, he should pull his head outta his **** and realize that soon

Duo008, just going to write that. There has never been one player, not even Michael who could do it all alone. Bosh reminds me of KG when he was in Minny, same type of energy and passion to win. Let's see if the can get him better personnel.

I really dislike Stephen A. so I can only agree with Bosh.
However, prove him wrong on the floor. The Raps have a shot at the Magic. They have some great shooters.
If you ask me, Toronto's problem is Sam Mitchell and also Andrea Bargnani.
Mitchell doesn't wow me as a coach, they can find a better replacement.

I am not a Bosh or Raptors fan... But this knucklehead Smith is WAY off base... From what I have read and seen... This guy is one of the top centers in the league... And will only get better... Comparing him to Manute Bol is a joke... Then again... So is Smith...Does anyone have respect for this guy???... Nobody I have ever talked to does

Ignore Smith. You are better then him Bosh. Besides Smith will stop insulting you if you call up and tell him to leave you alone. That is what Danny AInge did when Smith ripped him for the stupidity his career as a GM was until McHale handed over Garnett for garbage.
So just call him up. He will change his so called opinion if you confront the wimp.
Also remember Bosh. Smith is a wanna be baller but he couldn't do it since he is a shirt talentless $$$$. He is just jealous because you made it and he couldn't.

Please people, Stephen A. Smith is probably the most straight forward no-nonsense analyst and he is almost always right. Bosh is a softy and in this case, the truth hurts.

Stephen A. is an assbag who is in love with the sound of his own voice. He is on target sometimes, but don't give him a free pass and say he's always right.

Steven A. Smith is fun to watch and he does have some good input. I didn't like him at first but he has grown on me. He was wrong in saying what he did about Chris Bosh. This kid is an animal on the court and if he had better talent around him they could contend for at least a Eastern championship!

I can't watch Stephen A Smith. I love basketball and watch every thing basketball that comes on TV but if Stephen A is on ESPN I have to turn the channel and it upsets me.
