As the third member of the new Miami Thrice mega-trio Chris Bosh seems to really be enjoying his ascent into the upper echelon of NBA stars. Although he has been an All-Star before and was the best player on the Toronto Raptors, he was still relatively unknown on a national scale because, well, he was on the Toronto Raptors. That’s all changed in the past few months, with his name being universally linked to LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in the biggest free agency period the NBA ever saw.
Bosh is reveling in the spotlight, hitting the ESPYs red carpet and partying at trendy Hollywood clubs . He most recently stopped by the AXE Lounge in Southampton, New York with his girlfriend Adrienne Williams and spoke on the new Big 3, his upcoming documentary, dodged a Twilight question about being Team Jacob or Team Edward and more. We have some video and photos from the event, check it below.

Bosh was a key part of both James and Wade’s demands, with each insisting that they’d only play wherever Bosh could also join them. Bosh is a prolific scorer and rebounder, but with all due respect to him, many rightly don’t feel he’s on the level of a James or Wade, even a Pau Gasol.
Yeah he averaged 24 points and 11 rebounds for the Raptors last year, but he’s never led them to a playoff series win and has only made it to the postseason twice in his seven year career. The benefit for him is that he can now be a role player and won’t shoulder all the pressure with Wade and LeBron there to carry that load. With each of the three under 30 and at or near their primes, they figure to be contenders for quite a while.
