Miami Heat big man Chris Bosh allowed opponents to shoot 55.3 percent at the rim against him last season. But based on his appearance on CBS’ “The Late Late Show with James Corden” on Wednesday night, you’d think that number would be a lot closer to triple zeroes.
The two-time NBA champion challenged the entire show’s staff to a friendly game of 1-on-30 and proceeded to slaughter all of their hopes and dreams.
Not even fellow guest Jason Sudeikis nor Corden himself stood a snowball’s chance in hell against the 10-time All-Star.
Sure, Bosh may have temporarily suspended the goaltending clause in the basketball constitution. But since he was playing in sunglasses and jeans, while also presumably fielding personnel calls from Heat president Pat Riley, I would say it all evened out.
Looks like along with camera angles and joke-writing, Corden really needs to work on some post moves with his staff. Even that final barrage looked like it only netted maybe one basket.
As for Bosh, who looks to be fully healthy after a terrifying bout with blood clots in his lungs last season, he probably won’t have to play much “Late Late Show” defense for the Heat next year with Hassan Whiteside protecting the rim, leaving Bosh free to be the pick-and-roll defense dynamo that he is.
Still, it doesn’t hurt to work yourself back into playing shape by ruining the ambitions of a local late-night talk show crew.
