MIAMI (AP) – Back in the Miami Heat locker room for the first time in nearly a month, Chris Bosh had things he needed to say.
His teammates hung on every word.
Bosh gave an impromptu speech on Monday night, his first time around the Heat since being diagnosed last month with blood clots on a lung that threatened his life – but only took away his season. He told them how his biggest pain now is not being able to play basketball, reminding them not to take anything for granted.
“It was great having him here,” Heat guard Dwyane Wade said.
It won’t be such an uncommon occurrence for much longer.
