NBA star Chris Bosh did the weather for some Toronto-area station. He’s holding a basketball so that you know that he plays in the NBA, and can sell you weed just as soon as we go to commercial. You see this H right here? That stands for high.

This video came along during my long Christmas break (thanks to eXXtreme motorcyclist Mark), but I wanted to post it because it feels like weeks since I've written about the NBA.  I missed all sorts of NBA stories recently, like… uh… some games on Christmas Day. 

Anyway, Chris Bosh is dressed up like a used car salesman, so you should vote him into the All-Star Game.  Although I'm not sure why he wants to go.  There are gonna be all sorts of dangerous black people there.

It seems kind of late in the day for an NBA roundup, but sometimes news items like people getting shot and giving other people the business just has to take priority.  Besides, I'd be remiss if I didn't write about how fucking awful the Bulls and Sonics are.  In 1996 they squared off in the NBA Finals, and the Sonics were probably the best team in the '90s to lose to Jordan's Bulls.  And now they're dogshit.

Following a loss to the bag of ass that is the New York Knicks, the Bulls fell to 2-10 with a 93-78 loss in Toronto.  Raps rookie Jamario Moon went wild with 15 points, nine rebounds, six blocks, and three steals, while Jose Calderon more than filled in for the injured T.J. Ford with 19 points and 14 assists (FYI: The Basketball Jones's Tas Melas frequently contests that Calderon is a better PG for Toronto than Ford).  Meanwhile, the Sonics' hopes for a shining future in the urbane metropolis of Oklahoma City are overshadowed by a 2-12 record and an 0-6 mark at KeyArena following their 116-101 loss to San Antonio.  Kevin Durant shot 11-for-15 for 25 points, but that hardly matters when the Big Gay Three combine for 70 points.

Elsewhere in the Association: Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams's reign of tyranny continues unabated; Jazz beat Pistons… Cavs defeat Pacers LeBron notches fourth triple-double in 14 games this season.  Apparently that's more than most players… Jason Kidd breaks out the cookie on the Lakers as Nets don't suck for third consecutive game.

Two nights after blowing Gilbert Arenas and his overactive mouth out of the Fleet Center, the Celtics showed they could get it done in close games as well.  After 48 minutes of slow, grinding basketball that left the C's tied with the Raps at 78, both teams rained buckets in OT, with Boston outscoring Toronto 20-17 in five minutes to improve to 2-0.

Ray Allen was the Big One of the Big Three, scoring 33 in the game, including the game-winning three-pointer from the corner with 3 seconds left.  Kevin Garnett scored 23 (10 in OT), while T.J. Ford led the Raps with 32 and my God basketball recaps are boring to write.  Seriously.  There's no chance in hell I'm doing this every day until June.  I'm thinking two a week, maybe three if it's slow.  Really slow.  Like Shaq returning from injury slow.

Elsewhere in the Association: Heat fall to 0-3 against Bobcats, who are two games above .500 for the first time ever.  Michael Jordan celebrates with cigar, golf, meaningless wager… Sonics fall to 0-3, Clay Bennett still a useless piece of shit… LeBron (27 points, 5 rebs, 8 assts, 4 blocks) was back to bring LeBron, but the Suns were back to being the Suns, as Steve Nash led Phoenix to a win with 30 points and ten dimes… Something has possessed Kobe: for the second straight game, the Lakers deal one of the West's best teams a loss, this time beating the Jazz 119-109.  As always, I'm pretty broken up by a Utah loss.

It took less than a week for the NBA to match Rasheed Wallace's miracle shot. This comes from Friday night's Raptors-Wizards game, courtesy With Leather reader and total sex freak Lee.

That would be Morris Peterson making Michael Ruffin look like a complete asshole. Following the world of sports' gut-punch rule, the Wizards would go on to lose in overtime. Beautiful.

There's not really a whole lot I can say about the gruesome Jorge Garbajosa injury that isn't already captured in Al Jefferson's reaction.

TrueHoop points out that Garbajosa has confirmed his season is over. Not like we really needed Jorge's opinion on that one. Even Barbaro's like, "Yo, that leg injury was NASTY."
