Former long-time Cavaliers player and current TV analyst Austin Carr must have had shared pregame notes with Shaquille O’Neal, because he referenced one of the Diesel’s lines mid-telecast on Tuesday night. During the second quarter of the Cavs-Heat game, Carr called Chris Bosh a Rupaul look-alike. Check out this video via Ben Golliver:
The hate for Clevelanders towards LeBron James and the Heat was already evident by the time Carr got personal with that reference. Not only was it a two-year-old reference, but it was also pretty unprofessional. I know Carr’s broadcasting for his local audience in Cleveland, but he should have realized he was also being televised on NBA TV for a much larger audience that might have taken offense to the name-calling.
Regardless, this latest offense joins the growing list for which Chris Bosh has made headlines either intentionally or unintentionally. The list includes:
-
– Possibly crying after blowing a lead to the Magic
– An embarrassing flop against the Bulls
– Being punked by Kevin Durant
– Getting dunked on by Rajon Rondo
– Saying he just cares about being on national TV
Bosh wanted the spotlight and now he’s seeing the negative side to it in addition to the positive. As long as Miami wins some rings, I’m sure it will all have been worth it for him.
