Chris Bosh knows he can be the butt of many jokes on the Internet, but it doesn't bother him one bit.
In an interview with VIBE, the basketball star talks NBA Memes, LeBron's decision to head back to Cleveland, his deal with the Houston Rockets, and a few ties he designed for New York Fashion Week called Mr. Nice Ties.
Bosh says he enjoys some of the memes made by fans because he knows that he makes it easy for people to crack jokes.
"Honestly I think the NBA memes are pretty funny," he said. " I've actually saved some of them and if I'm having a bad day, I'll look at one and laugh at it. Well some of them are kind of a stretch, but some of them I'll look at and say 'Ok, they got me."
He also says he's happy for his former teammate LeBron James and his choice to return home to Cleveland.
"I found out like 10 minutes before everyone else," he said. "But coming into this off-season, we all understood there was a chance that one of us might go somewhere else. I understood that his decision was bigger than basketball. It was about his emotional state, about his family and I don't hold anything against anyone. I'm happy for him. No one can take away the good times we had with the Heat."
During LeBron's announcement to return home, many had wondered if Bosh would make a move to the Houston Rockets. Bosh says the deal was close, but decided to stay in Miami.
"Oh, it was close," he said. "Only because we were all in a little bit of a state of surprise and you didn't know how [off-season moves] would play out."
As for his ties, he doesn't plan on becoming a huge fashion designer just yet.
"We're basketball players," he said. "That's my full-time job and I never forget that. I don't really have a lot of free time, but with the little time I do have, I dedicated part of it to designing the five neckties and it's been great. But even doing five pieces was time consuming. No way I could do a whole line right away. "
