Chris Bosh fell in love with basketball at an early age and earned the prestigious Mr. Basketball title while still in high school in Texas. Bosh was selected fourth overall by the Toronto Raptors. During his time with the Raptors, Bosh became a five-time NBA All-Star and appeared for the US national team (with whom he won a gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics). In 2010, Bosh left Toronto for the Miami HEAT, joining forces with current Miami HEAT star Dwyane Wade, and NBA All-Star LeBron James, creating what became known as The Big Three. During his time with the HEAT, Bosh won two back-to-back NBA titles in 2012 and 2013 before playing his final game in February of 2016 prior to a medical condition which no longer allowed him to pursue his career on the court. By the end of his basketball career he was an 11-time NBA All-Star and the NBA's first Global Ambassador of Basketball. In March of 2019, Bosh's #1 Jersey was officially retired. In addition to his basketball career, in 2004, Bosh set up the Chris Bosh Foundation, which is now known as Team Tomorrow, and regularly speaks to youths about the benefits of reading. Bosh, his wife Adrienne Williams, and their five children reside in Austin and Miami.
