For all those Chris Bosh supporters who stand by the fact that he was a class act and someone who was loyal to our team for seven years, please, don't judge a player by the facade he displays to the media.
Here's a story from Yahoo Sports detailing the now-infamous exit by CB4.. CB1? Whatever.
It's not that I question Bosh's commitment and what he gave us during his tenure, but it's often said that when it's time to part ways, that's when people's true nature exposes themselves. CB had every right to choose a new environment and a new organization to continue his career -- that's his prerogative. The nature of how he left is the unsettling point. While at some point, he probably loved the Raptors and wanted to stay with the fans, it's clear now that those feelings were scattered to the wind when the summer of 2010 arrived. There's no point remaining bitter and hung up though, it was a good run while it lasted, right?
It may sound cliched, but it still rings true in basketball and in life -- we should forgive, but never forget.
Chris Bosh left us by checking out early and tweeting like a little schoolgirl. Good for him. We can do better, and we will.

Sorry, couldn't resist one last parting shot.
