Chris Bosh Deserves Your All-Star Vote

by Marcel Mutoni

OK, so maybe he doesn’t really deserve a starting spot on the All-Star squad, but Chris Bosh’s attempt to get one is absolutely glorious.

In a promotional video clip that’s spreading around the Internets like wild fire, we see the normally reserved Bosh decked out head-to-toe in cowboy gear, with the requisite Texas used car salesman twang in full effect.

Though Chris knows he has almost no chance of getting the nod over the likes of KG and LeBron in the Eastern Conference, he still went ahead with the hilarious campaign and had a lot of fun.

“I wanted to do something different, and I noticed that I was behind in the polls,” Bosh said with a laugh.

“I know those guys are going to get the majority of votes and I wanted to do something to get me an edge,” Bosh said.

You can watch the video by clicking here. Vote or die, as it were.

    That was good! Great accent. I guess he paid attention growing up in Texas.

  • Jukai Posted: Dec.31 at 7:53 pm
    From now on, I’m voting for him

  • Captain America Posted: Dec.31 at 7:56 pm
    Chris is better than KG, and he doesn’t whine. Boo-woo-woo I got a bobo, it’s foul I tell ya.

  • kaydee Posted: Dec.31 at 8:07 pm
    Bosh is hilarious. I listen to his podcasts on his website, he seems quiet but he’s not.

  • Slamyomama Posted: Dec.31 at 9:03 pm
    great work by chris bosh who deserves to have tons of votes considering how good this guy is man hes a beast

  • Sesa Posted: Dec.31 at 9:41 pm
    I think the Coach will vote him as a sub, despite all these ads.

  • Ben Posted: Dec.31 at 9:48 pm
    we want Luol Deng even though they losin he is e beast like a black Andrei Kirilenko

  • jose Posted: Dec.31 at 11:23 pm
    while we’re on this subject what became of trying to get ‘toine in the all-star game?

  • TC Posted: Jan.1 at 12:48 am
    Damn, CB4 is not bad as an actor. THAT’S RIGHT! I think he would definitely get voted in by the coaches….

  • LAN Posted: Jan.1 at 12:59 am
    sorry bosh but im votin granger n gerald

  • paul Posted: Jan.1 at 1:00 am
    “the cornerstone”

  • Ben Posted: Jan.1 at 2:08 am
    Captain America: Bosh better than KG? Are you kidding? Why has Boston only lost 3 games all season and has the best defence in the leauge? Hint: the answer is not Ray Allen.

  • hursty Posted: Jan.1 at 2:42 am
    if bosh starts then you have half the class of 03′ starting. Wade, LeBron, Bosh. and others on the bench i spose. for the west, ‘Melo, Kaman off the bench. any chance Caron butler gets the bench vote in the east forwards? he did last year.

  • Jukai Posted: Jan.1 at 4:12 am
    Bosh isn’t as good as Garnett, although I’d say he has the upside to be just as good. In an all-star game though, I’d rather see Bosh, he’s a little bit more fun to watch.

  • Irishpaul Posted: Jan.1 at 5:35 am
    At least Chris is making an effort toward the fans which does not feel like it is just for his ego. I thought it was hilarious. If i was talented enough to emulate my heroes thats the type of player i would want to be off the court.

  • t.dot dude Posted: Jan.1 at 11:16 am
    VOTE FOR BOSH

  • t.dot dude Posted: Jan.1 at 11:18 am
    bosh is the best player in raptors history, and hes carrying them almost single handedly, with ford out. he deserves to be an allstar

  • t.dot dude Posted: Jan.1 at 11:19 am

  • Bubba Chuck Posted: Jan.1 at 12:33 pm
    i bet hibach…i mean nachoooooooooooooooooooo wouldve done somethin like this if he wasnt injured & could actually play in tha allstar game

  • raptors1 Posted: Jan.1 at 3:05 pm
    bosh has my vote

  • JONATHAN HELMICK Posted: Jan.1 at 3:45 pm
    BOSH IS WHERE HE NEED TO BUT IF HE WANTS TO GET TO THE ALL-STAR GAME HE HAS GOT TO PUT UP BETTER NUMBERS THAN 20PTS AND 9BOARDS HE IS 6’10 AND IN THE TOP 8 PLAYERS IN THE EAST. HE NEEDS TO GET AT LEAST 11 TO 14 BOARDS A GAME IF HE WANTS TO BE A STATER IN THE ALL STAR GAME

  • john Posted: Jan.1 at 4:36 pm
    yes he needs to go and chris pual

  • Boing Dynasty Posted: Jan.1 at 5:00 pm
    Bosh will be in the game because hes a very good player, KG will start because hes better, more popular and his team has a better record. why is there even a debate on this subject?

  • bootlace Posted: Jan.1 at 9:31 pm
    Marcel, waiting for a “Hedo Turkoglu deserves your all-star vote” any minute now.

  • dma Posted: Jan.2 at 3:40 am
    if bosh makes it and brandon roy doesnt….

  • Mark Z Posted: Jan.2 at 5:15 pm
    I smell Bosh’s agent at work here… Do you really think Bosh sat thought “Oh, I’m not getting many All Star votes! I need to shoot a wacky ad!” I’d bet his more concerned with the fact that he’s the ‘muscle’ on a FIBA jumpshooting team.

  • Slam Posted: Jan.8 at 4:55 pm
    Hell” Ye Bosh should play in the AllStar game
