Back from Beijing and on the eve of the Raptors' training camp, Chris Bosh checks in with another post, as relayed by FanHouse's Matt Watson.I know it's been a little while, but I'm back on the written blogs! So much has happened since being back from the Olympics and time has really flown by. I'm back in Toronto now, getting back in shape and I'm glad to be here. I'm getting everything settled at my house and at the Air Canada Centre so I've been kind of busy.
I'm still riding the gold medal wave right now and people tell me congratulations all the time. For some reason, everywhere I go (and I mean everywhere) people ask me to see it. I don't know if they're serious, but I always tell them I keep it safe at home, which I really do. I guess some athletes keep it with them at all times and that's understandable. I just want to keep mine where I always know it will be.
Another question I get a lot of since I've been back is if I'm excited about this upcoming season. If you're reading this and wondering that same question, the answer is... Of course I'm excited! I think we have the right pieces to get the job done and yes it is true, the Eastern Conference has gotten tougher. I accept that and I love it. I love competing against good competition and I think that will make this season a lot of fun.
Other than all of that, I'm working on some new upcoming videos. I've got a little video competition with Baron Davis to see who can make the funniest sketch. Check it out if you haven't seen the video we made challenging each other. I'm going to win, but I know he's going to have a great video. I already have an idea, I just have to bring it to life.
Anyway, practice starts in a couple of days so I have to get some rest. I'm writing more often now so make sure you guys keep reading!
