Chris Bosh opens up about the incident that sealed his Raptors fate - Sportsnet.ca
I remember John Salmons was a free agent and it was between us and Chicago. So I’m like, ‘Yeah, OK. Oh man, if we can get Johnny Salmons we’ll be pretty good,'” Bosh told Simmons. “And I guess you would call it recruiting, trying to get in touch with him and stuff, and he took less money to go to Chicago. And that’s kind of when I knew it was going to be a lot more difficult being in Toronto. So as soon as I could change my destiny and have an opportunity to explore other things, I was ready to do that.”

It’s taxes and customs, and they don’t make it easy on you,” he explained. “Forgive me if I’m going off on customs — I love you guys, but man. We’d go in and out of the city a lot. It’s centrally located, so a lot of in-and-out flights. You’re going through customs every time. And we’re in the airport going through customs and that gets kind of old a little bit. They had to give us our boarding pass and tickets and we had to take off our shoes and laptops, and you now, we’re NBA players — we’ve got a lot of jewelry on. We’ve got a lot of stuff.
“Sam Mitchell was killing us one year. He made us have a business-casual dress code [laughs] so we’ve got big coats and belt buckles and shoes going through the thing,” he said. “I did the math one time: 26 hours in the airport. Over a season, 26 extra hours.”
bosh doesn't know the difference between security and customs?
customs literally takes a minute even less

This nikka Bosh loves to wine about Toronto to US media....When hes HERE doing interviews tho he says his experience made him a "man" two faced ass nikka.
bytching and lying about customs 26 hours over a season works out to 10 minutes per trip lol...This nikka is really bytching over waiting 10 mins in line at customs
Low key hes a snake...

Haha ouch. Was just going by the box score.
Bosh was also disngenuous about free agents coming to Toronto...team was bad organization was bad of course they werent gonna attract nobody.
name me a free agent destination outside of NY,Miami,LA ???
NY hasnt landed a marguee FA in 10 fuggin years...Chicago hasnt landed anyone in 2 decades...to act like Toronto is an outhouse in the NBA in terms odf destination is just complete sour grapes....and i suspect alot of it has to do with MIA retiring his jersey and the Raps still not willing too...
