Chris Bosh Is The Funniest Man In The NBA
Business Insider

Chris Bosh. CB. Formerly known as CB4. Beer connoisseur. Fashion guru. Father of 5. Entirely underrated. If you check out his Instagram (@chrisbosh) you can see just how many roles he plays besides being an all-star NBA player. Yes, we all know that he was the third of the Big Three.

Yes, we all know that he was an all-star for 8 consecutive seasons. Yes, we all know that he was the all-time leader in points, rebounds, blocks, double doubles, free throws made and attempted, and minutes played for the Toronto Raptors. And yes, we all know that he betrayed Raptors fans to join D'Wade & Bron in Miami. But, what is even more important to point out is that he is hands-down, the funniest man in the NBA.

How can a basketball player be funny, you may ask? Allow me to elaborate.


1. He likes to photobomb interviews.


Seeing basketball players with a personality is difficult sometimes. This holds true in any sport, really. You see them on the court/field, in interviews, on posters, cereal boxes, etc. However, Chris Bosh has a fantastic personality. He shows it by photo-bombing interviews, making faces at his teammates while they aren't looking, and just having an all-around lightened mood. Sometimes, his jest and his good humor takes the heat off of the person interviewing and lets the viewers know that it really is just a game.

2. His hips don't lie. Seriously.



I wish I could have the dance moves of Chris Bosh. Look at those moves! He has the rigidity to be able to do the robot (i.e. top gif) and the fluidity to move with some sass (i.e. bottom gif). His balance of the two movement qualities is probably what gives him such a talent in basketball. You need to have both rigidity to play mean defense and fluidity to be able to keep up with the ball constantly moving around the court. Needless to say, Chris Bosh has both.

3. He even includes his kids in his little shenanigans. (adorable!)


Chris Bosh is literally goals. When I am older and married, I hope to have a husband who is so inclusive of his children in his career. This is another way that people can finally see the basketball players that they so idolize as real human beings. Chris Bosh has five beautiful children, and you can obviously see that they are loved. They play jokes on D'Wade. (How cool is that?!)

4. He likes to mess with his interviewers.


He not only likes to joke around with his fellow teammates, but he also likes to keep the interviewers entertained and in on the action. He tries to keep a positive outlook and tries to make the game at hand more than just a job. In the grand scheme of things, Chris Bosh is just trying to make sure everyone is having a great time, no matter what is happening on the court.

5. He has crazy eyes...


Chris Bosh comes dangerously close to resembling Steve Buschemi as Crazy Eyes in "Mr. Deeds". His crazy eyes usually are not even done intentionally, he is just that emotionally involved in his career and in his environment.

6. ... and tongue.


Again, another unintentionally hilarious act of Chris Bosh. What do we think his tongue exposure meant? It may have been to distract an opposing player. It may have been an inside joke with one of his teammates (prob D'Wade). It may have been a cute face he was making to one of his kids on the sidelines. It may have been just an honest reaction to a play made on the court. Regardless of his true intentions, the fact that Chris Bosh was even able to make this face while he was on court is hilarious.

7. He misses high-fives about 95% of the time.


We've all been there. We have all gone for that high five or fist bump, and just have completely missed. And we have all felt incredibly stupid and embarrassed immediately following it. However, that happens to the average person a minimal amount of the time. Not Chris Bosh. He misses high fives on the reg. He misses them so frequently that I truly wonder if he does it on purpose to make the other person feel stupid. If that's the case, he is much more clever than he is given credit for. If that isn't the case and he has terrible hand-eye coordination, then his ability to be a professional basketball player boggles my mind.

8. Sometimes, the camera just catches him at the wrong time.

He tried. Chris Bosh tried to play this off. However, there is just no getting out of this one. The camera caught him at the worst possible time. Being a celebrity is clearly tough work. You have to make sure you can avoid all of the confetti that is coming down in your honor, otherwise, you look silly. However, it does make for a hilarious gif.

9. He is always a nice reminder of one of Pixar's greatest movies.


There is very little to say about this one. Chris Bosh = Randall.

10. He may or may not be a common white girl at heart.



Chris Bosh throws up the peace sign when that camera hits him just like every other common white girl out there, myself included. I bet he has a rose gold iPhone, orders caramel macchiatos and/or PSLs from Starbucks, and obsesses over John Green's young adult novels. I bet he also takes selfies with the dog snapchat filter. I respect it.

11. He's clearly a black belt in karate.




Truth be told, the gifs speak for themselves. His karate skills are honed & mastered through his constant activity on the court & off. He trains incessantly to be able to continue in his career & it shows in his karate expertise.

Obviously, he's not just funny and his accomplishments as a professional basketball player are something to be my impressed by. I mean, look at that dunk.

With his outstanding abilities as a player and the much-needed comic relief he provides to the NBA, I believe it is safe to say that Chris Bosh should get more love!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
